 Introducing CACTI: Our New Ally Against the Montezuma Carbon Hub Project

Join us for the launch of a new coalition, Communities Against Carbon Transport & Injection (CACTI), to combat the Montezuma pipeline. With members of more than 85 Bay Area, state, and national organizations, we’re working together to champion our communities and safeguard our health from the looming challenge of the Montezuma Carbon Hub Project.

The Pipeline Threat

Montezuma LLC is pushing for a risky and unnecessary 45-mile pipeline that would snake through our neighborhoods and delicate wetlands, endangering both our communities and local wildlife, all while failing to address climate concerns. As the CACTI Coalition reports on the proposed carbon dioxide waste dump near the Montezuma wetlands:

The project, known as the Montezuma Carbon Hub, is a proposed carbon capture and storage facility that would require a massive buildout of pipelines through San Francisco Bay and Suisun Bay. These pipelines and the carbon-capture project itself pose serious risks to wildlife and public health while doing nothing to protect the climate.

This pipeline project would process and transport millions of tons of fossil fuels, posing a significant threat to our communities and the environment. Among those are serious public health risks, particularly for residents in Solano and Contra Costa Counties.

Take Action Now To Combat the Montezuma Pipeline

If you live in Antioch, Richmond, Benicia, Suisun City, or Vallejo, take a couple of minutes to sign the petition to your local city council urging them to adopt a resolution that expresses the community’s opposition to the proposal and calls on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to refuse the project’s permits.

In Contra Costa County:

Antioch: Sign the Petition

Richmond: Sign the Petition

In Solano County:

Benicia: Sign the Petition

Suisun City: Sign the Petition
