A developer of a new gas export project in Texas is proposing to equip planned facilities with carbon capture technology.
In an announcement Thursday, Coastal Bend LNG said the company is moving ahead on a project capable of producing 22.5 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas each year.
If built, the Coastal Bend project would join the eight existing U.S. LNG export terminals dotted along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean, as well as several under-construction projects and even more approved facilities. Coastal Bend LNG said it expects to pre-file an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission sometime this year, according to a news release.
Nick Flores, CEO of Coastal Bend LNG, said the company is responding to a “growing global demand for low carbon intensity” liquefied natural gas.
