Coastal Bend LNG to capture carbon from onsite power plant
Nick Flores, CEO of the Coastal Bend LNG project, has highlighted the inclusion of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a ‘central feature’ of the company’s proposed liquefaction terminal in Texas. CO2 emissions from the onsite power plant will be captured, moved by pipeline for sequestration and long-term underground storage.
Scaling up CCS capacity by linking it to LNG
Juxtaposing the carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity with LNG production illustrates of the scale of the ambition for CCS, Wood Mackenzie says, comparing the growth of two large industrial systems handling gas in a cooled liquid state. “Even in the delayed energy transition scenario, CCS capacity is expected to be three times greater than LNG supply volumes by 2050," analysts noted, "while in the base case, it will be four times greater."
