Venture Global LNG Inc. plans to capture and sequester carbon at its 10-million tonne/year (tpy) Calcasieu Pass and 20-million tpy Plaquemines LNG plants. The company expects to sequester a total of 500,000 tpy from the two sites. Venture Global anticipates using similar infrastructure to capture and sequester 500,000 tpy from its 20-million tpy CP2 LNG plant once permitted.
Having concluded a comprehensive engineering and geotechnical analysis, Venture Global is launching, subject only to regulatory approvals, a shovel-ready carbon capture and sequestration project, compressing CO2 at its sites and transporting it to saline aquifers where it will be permanently stored.
“I am pleased to learn that Venture Global LNG has identified significant opportunities for CO2 capture and sequestration in Louisiana,” said Gov. John Bel Edwards (D). “Louisiana is well-positioned in terms of infrastructure, industry, geology, and policy to take a leadership role in controlling and reducing atmospheric emissions of carbon.”
Venture Global last month began interruptible service on its TransCameron pipeline, which will supply Calcasieu Pass (OGJ Online, Apr. 9, 2021).
