NextDecade advances Texas CCS efforts
US LNG company NextDecade said April 14 it had signed an engineering agreement with a division of Mitsubishi to develop post-combustion carbon capture technology for the Rio Grande LNG export facility in Texas.
NextDecade signed an engineering services agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to utilise a proprietary process developed by the Japanese company that uses a specialised solvent to help facilitate CO
2 recovery.
“This will be the world’s first application of post-combustion capture for LNG, and we expect this initiative will contribute to realising carbon neutrality in the years ahead,” Yoshihiro Shiraiwa, the head of the Japanese division, said.
