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.
Toho Gas is developing a Cryo-DAC prototype direct air capture plant, designed to absorb one tonne of CO2 a year by using ‘cold energy’ from LNG regas terminals. The protype at Nagoya University is due completed and operational later this year.
