Navigator CO2 Ventures recently moved its corporate headquarters from Dallas to Omaha near 132nd and Dodge. Matt Vining, the CEO (and one of the investors of Bluestem Biosciences), lives in Omaha, but they also mention a lot of their pipeline work will be in Iowa and Nebraska.
Navigator CO2, a carbon management firm, recently moved its headquarters to west Omaha.
The firm’s move from Dallas marks a notable step up in its investments in Nebraska, where it has plans to build nearly 120 miles of pipeline in the eastern part of the state. The pipeline would transport liquefied carbon dioxide captured from biofuel production plants to an underground site in central Illinois for sequestration, a process the company says will help combat climate change.
The article also details some of the opposition that is generally associated with pipelines.Navigator expects the pipeline to result in nearly 1,700 construction jobs in Nebraska, with 50-80 permanent jobs spanning across the states in the company’s overall footprint, though it anticipates “an added emphasis on Nebraska” now that the company has decided to locate its headquarters in Omaha.
The company's press release from a couple weeks ago is here.
