The company, called Coastal Bend LNG, announced it has initiated the development of a 22.5 million ton per annum (mtpa) export facility. The project will include up to five 4.5 mtpa liquefaction trains, cogeneration, LNG storage tanks, and export facilities for shipping, bunkering, and ISO containers.

“We are responding to growing global demand for low carbon intensity LNG,” said Nick Flores, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Coastal Bend LNG. “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.”

As disclosed, carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS) will be integrated into the facility to deliver low-carbon-intensity natural gas sourced from U.S. onshore basins. The company said it plans to pre-file its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permits this year.

Another Texas-based LNG facility recently reached a milestone when its developer, Cheniere Energy, reached a final investment decision (FID) for the Corpus Christi Midscale Trains 8 & 9 and debottlenecking project.
