Description

A full-scale integrated CO2 capture facility for Entergy Louisiana LLC’s natural gas combined cycle Lake Charles Power Station.

The project would use post-combustion CO2 capture technology with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd KS-21™ solvent capable of capturing a minimum of 95% of the CO2 emissions, equating to nearly 2.5M tonnes of CO2 per year.

Entergy Services, LLC has partnered with Talos Energy, Inc. to develop an off-take agreement with a sequestration site approximately 23 miles from LCPS and a pipeline to transport the captured CO2 to the sequestration site for secure storage.

In September 2024, it was announced that Crescent Midstream was going to develop and construct the project.
