  • The company commissioned two additional carbon-capture projects, bringing its operating portfolio to three facilities that have injected approximately 400,000 tons of CO2 and are generating 45Q tax credits; certification progress for its carbon-sequestered gas product could enable additional commercialization in the second half of 2026.
  • BKV is advancing its Temple and Jack County power developments, which could add 1.4 GW of dispatchable generation, while customer discussions and equipment procurement progress toward a targeted Temple PPA signing in late 2026 or early 2027.
  • Strategic power capital guidance increased to $400 million-$475 million for 2026, primarily due to long-lead equipment purchases for Jack County, increasing near-term investment needs ahead of finalized PPAs and project financing.
