TotalEnergies SE is teaming up with Belgian start-up Tree Energy Solutions (TES) to build a synthetic natural gas plant that tentatively could be sited in Texas. Fueled by carbon dioxide (CO2) and renewable hydrogen, the project as envisioned would produce 100,000-200,000 metric tons/year of electric natural gas, aka e-NG.  “This synthetic fuel will contribute to…

CF Industries Holdings Inc., which uses natural gas in its hydrogen and nitrogen manufacturing, agreed to pay nearly $1.7 billion for the Incitec Pivot Ltd. (IPL) ammonia production complex in Waggaman, LA. The IPL facility has a nameplate capacity of 880,000 tons/year of ammonia, CF noted.  The companies plan to allocate around $425 million of…

California Resources Corp. (CRC) kicked off 2023 with an agreement to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from Grannus LLC’s blue ammonia and hydrogen project. The Carbon Dioxide Management Agreement (CDMA) by CRC subsidiary Carbon Terravault Holdings LLC (CTV) stipulates that it would provide infield transportation to offtake CO2 produced from the Grannus project. The project is…

With a pilot project validating an innovative system to produce electricity from natural gas while generating near-zero emissions, NET Power LLC is leading a consortium to construct a 300 MW carbon-free generator in the Permian Basin. NET Power advanced the West Texas project following success with its supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) demonstration plant in 2018.…

Honeywell International Inc. said it will collaborate with the University of Texas at Austin (UT) to commercialize a lower cost carbon capture technology for the power generation and industrial sectors. The project was developed by researchers at UT’s Texas Carbon Management Program (TxCMP). An advanced amine solvent “enables carbon dioxide (CO2) to be captured at…

Xcel Energy Inc. and NRG Energy Inc. recently reported carbon dioxide (CO2) reductions of more than 50% from baseline levels and unveiled new goals centered on electric vehicles as the utilities continue to search for ways to lower their emissions footprints. In its 16th annual sustainability report, Xcel reported a 51% CO2 reduction from electricity…

Battelle Memorial Institute and Catahoula Resources LLC have agreed to partner to manage carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced from ethanol facilities in Nebraska.  Houston-based Catahoula, and Allentown, PA-based Battelle plan to investigate solutions for the capture, transport, and sequestration of CO2 emissions from ethanol.The two plan to design and construct several low-cost storage options either…

Privately held Venture Global LNG Inc. has unveiled plans to capture and sequester up to 1 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)/year from its sites in Louisiana, making it the latest liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer to turn to carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) as a way to lower its emissions profile. Arlington, VA-based Venture…

ExxonMobil is looking for local, state and federal support to build a $100 billion project that would capture carbon emissions from the largest U.S. petrochemical complex along the Houston Ship Channel and bury them in the Gulf of Mexico. If the landmark project were to be built, ExxonMobil estimates that by 2030 the initial phase…
