Carbon Impact

Helping Customers Achieve Net-Zero

Milestone is a key partner in the energy value chain by helping its customers achieve their net-zero commitments and emission reduction targets. By investing in our carbon sequestration solutions, customers can turn the waste that was once an unavoidable byproduct and operational cost into an opportunity. They can offset indirect Scope 3 emissions, allowing them to meet emerging regulatory requirements and the expectations of investors.

A Better Environment is Better for Business

We make a strong partner for meeting environmental goals because we also make a great business case for employing our solutions. With Milestone, you’re able to make a low-cost and practically effortless switch from risky onsite land applications to our carbon-capturing slurry injection and landfill methods. And because our solutions are permanent, you protect yourself from liability over the long term.

The safer, smarter, easier alternative

At present, the use of reserve pits and landfarming are permissible in Texas, and the contents that get dumped into them are deemed by the Texas Railroad Commission to be non-hazardous. But that was a ruling from the 1970s. What we now know for certain is that the hydrocarbons that end up in pits or get spread on the ground emit greenhouse gasses into the air and contaminants into the soil. Milestone gives you an environmentally responsible alternative, at about the same cost as dealing with waste the old risky ways.

Milestone's net negative carbon footprint

Milestone has the largest slurry injection capacity in the U.S., giving operators a much better way to handle their waste. Our solutions prevent hydrocarbons in the waste from becoming fugitive emissions because they’re permanently sequestered deep underground. If the waste had been disposed using common practices such as landfarming or reserve pits, fugitive emissions would escape over time. With Milestone solutions, the avoided emissions far outpace our operating emissions – a strong net-negative result.

Endless environmental upside

Milestone’s slurry injection method not only locks hydrocarbons and other harmful contaminants away forever deep underground, it also preserves precious land resources. The elimination of unsightly reserve pits and landfarming, which place contaminated wastes above the water table, ensures that prime land stays unscarred, unpolluted, and unlimited in its potential for more productive uses. The land we walk on, the water we drink, and the air we breathe is better protected, your company is shielded from future environmental liability, and your Sustainability goals are better met.
