A proposed carbon capture and storage hub planned with ties to Port Arthur and beyond received a boost Monday with news of a major land purchase. Joint venture partners Chevron, Talos Energy and Carbonvert announced the acquisition of nearly 100,000 acres so they can  more than triple the size  of a proposed Bayou Bend project for the Texas Gulf Coast. According to conservativeenergynetwork.org, Carbon Capture and Sequestration, known CCS, involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes, such as steel and cement production, or from the burning of fossil fuels in power generation.
