US LNG equipment-maker Chart signs accord to seek carbon-capture projects in Middle East and Africa
Chart Industries, the US LNG equipment-maker and industrial gases company, has signed an accord to bring carbon-capture solutions to customers in the Middle East and Africa.
Chart said it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Abu Dhabi-based Contract and Trading Group (C.A.T. Group) to focus on the two companies providing carbon reduction services to state-owned firms and energy companies.
Atlanta, Georgia-based Chart has expertise in providing liquefaction, regasification, storage and transportation for LNG and industrial gases and already includes carbon-dioxide measures in its offering through the Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ technology of its subsidiary Sustainable Energy Solutions Inc.
Chart acquired Sustainable Energy Solutions in 2020 and the company has 44 US patents issued, a further 17 pending and 20 patents issued internationally relating to carbon-dioxide storage, evaporators and other technologies.
The US company is continuing its expansion into the carbon-capture and cleaner energy sectors while also being among the leaders in providing equipment for LNG export plants on the US Gulf Coast as well as LNG transportation containers and fuel stations.
LNG customers
Chart’s customers include Venture Global’s export facilities in Louisiana, including the new Plaquemines project on the Mississippi River south of New Orleans, Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi plant expansion in Texas and Tellurian’s Driftwood project, south of Lake Charles in Louisiana.
“We are excited to partner with C.A.T., a respected global leader in contracting with a particular focus on the energy transition,” said Jill Evanko, Chart CEO and President.
“We anticipate that our companies’ complementary strategies to adopt carbon-capture technologies and complete project solutions will accelerate customer decisions about their clean energy operations, particularly in the Middle East and Africa where carbon-capture is a natural part of the movement towards more sustainability,” added Evanko.
C.A.T. Group has broad customer relationships in the Middle East and Africa and has decades-long project experience.
It offers engineering, procurement and construction as well as project management to customers from its energy, civil, industrial, pipeline, and renewables divisions.
The Group’s CEO, Joseph Gebara, said he was pleased to partner with Chart with its expertise in LNG and other sectors.
“Chart’s technology, equipment and services are highly regarded in the LNG and CO2-capture sectors and together we will offer our customers in the Middle East and Africa complete solutions for the energy transition,” added Gebara.
