Description:

Pelican Renewables, LLC and its affiliates propose to develop a carbon sequestration hub on Rindge Tract, a large island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, located approximately 7 miles from the Port of Stockton.  The Project’s primary goal is to capture, utilize, and/or sequester CO2 emissions.  The Project will use Pelican’s existing ethanol production plant at the Port of Stockton for the anchor source of carbon dioxide to kick-start Hub operations.  The existing rail terminal at the plant will be used to receive carbon dioxide from external sources by rail, where it can be barged to Rindge Tract for storage.    Additionally, a Pelican affiliate, ZuCO2 Transport, LLC, will develop a barge-based CO2 transport system that will move CO2 from the Port of Stockton and from external sources to the Rindge Tract sequestration site. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management announced selection of the Pelican Carbon Sequestration Hub project for CarbonSAFE grant funding negotiation in their Project Selections for FOA 2711: Carbon Storage Validation and Testing (Round 3). DOE is the facilitating agency for the Pelican Carbon Sequestration Hub project for FAST-41 and therefore is responsible for creating a coordinated project plan (CPP) and permitting timetable for the project. 

The CPP and permitting timetable were due on January 12, 2025.  While DOE has provided a CPP, it was unable to provide a comprehensive timetable within the FAST-41 statutory 60-day timeframe. The Executive Director will work with DOE, in their facilitating agency role, to ensure a comprehensive timetable is developed for the project and compliance attained under FAST-41.
