Tampa Regional Intermodal Carbon HUB — Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (Tampa, Florida) plans to study the development of the Tampa Regional Intermodal Carbon Hub (“T-RICH”), a comprehensive intermodal transportation hub for captured CO2 on the west coast of Florida sited at Port Tampa Bay. T-RICH is intended to be the principal gateway for intermediate storage of CO2 captured from emitters across the State of Florida. The hub would receive, store, and process no less than 2,000,000 metric tons of CO2 per year for permanent storage on- and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico region as such sites receive final Class VI permits.
