The carbon dioxide (CO<I>2</I>) supplier source category consists of the following—
Facilities with production process units that capture a CO2 stream for purposes of supplying CO2 for commercial applications or that capture and maintain custody of a CO2 stream in order to sequester or otherwise inject it underground. Capture refers to the initial separation and removal of CO2 from a manufacturing process or any other process.
Facilities with CO2 production wells that extract or produce a CO2 stream for purposes of supplying CO2 for commercial applications or that extract and maintain custody of a CO2 stream in order to sequester or otherwise inject it underground.
Importers or exporters of bulk CO<I>2</I>.
Facilities with process units, including but not limited to direct air capture (DAC), that capture a CO2 stream from ambient air for purposes of supplying CO2 for commercial applications or that capture and maintain custody of a CO2 stream in order to sequester or otherwise inject it underground.
This source category is focused on upstream supply. It does not cover:
Storage of CO<I>2</I> above ground or in geologic formations.
Use of CO<I>2</I> in enhanced oil and gas recovery.
Transportation or distribution of CO<I>2</I>.
Purification, compression, or processing of CO<I>2</I>.
On-site use of CO<I>2</I> captured on site.
This source category does not include CO2 imported or exported in equipment, such as fire extinguishers.
