Coastal Bend LNG, Houston, has initiated development of a 22.5 million tonnes/year (tpy) natural gas liquefaction and export plant on the Texas Gulf Coast.
The privately held energy infrastructure development company expects to pre-file its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permits this year, it said in a release June 26.
The planned development is expected to include up to five 4.5-million tpy liquefaction trains, cogeneration, LNG storage tanks, and export infrastructure for shipping, bunkering, and ISO containers.
Inclusion of carbon capture, transport, and storage infrastructure is also planned.
“We are responding to growing global demand for low carbon intensity LNG,” said Nick Flores, chief executive officer. “The integration of carbon capture on both our liquefaction and cogeneration facilities will deliver low carbon intensity LNG while monetizing both 45Q tax credits and our low-carbon products,” he said.
