Tenaska is developing a carbon capture and storage project in South Alabama. CO2 emissions from facilities in the area would be captured and transported to geologically secure underground storage locations in Mobile County. Tenaska’s base facility has a 5 million metric tons per year storage capacity, and it includes the necessary pipeline infrastructure to bring… Continue reading Tenaska | Longleaf CCS Hub
A Denbury’s sequestration site in Baldwin, Alabama. It has a potential storage capacity of 300 mmt, with an anticipated injection capacity of 10-20 mmt per year. Denbury commenced drilling on the site in early 2023. It is now awaiting for a Class VI permit.
The integration of Southern Company subsidiary Alabama Power’s James M. Barry Electric power plant with Linde’s Gen 2 carbon capture solution based on BASF’s OASE® blue gas treatment technology. The project should capture approximately 95 percent of carbon dioxide emissions generated. The project received $5m in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office… Continue reading James M. Barry Electric Power Plant CCUS
A potential direct air capture project utilizing nuclear heat/power to capture at least 5,000 net tpa. Battelle Memorial Institute will leverage available thermal energy from Southern Company’s Joseph M. Farley nuclear power plant in Columbia, Alabama, for a DAC system developed by AirCapture LLC that will separate CO2 from ambient air for off-site geologic storage.
The conversion of Vertex Energy’s refinery in Mobile, Alabama, into a renewable diesel facility. In May 2024, Vertex announced it was reversing the facility’s conversion back to conventional fuels amid macroeconomic headwinds that led to weaker results for renewable diesel. The project has a $115m capex. It includes converting a standalone unit within the refinery… Continue reading Vertex Energy | Mobile Refinery Renewable Diesel Conversion
Southern States Energy Board, in coordination with site host Alabama Power Company, plans to develop the Southeast DAC (SEDAC) Hub project to support the deployment of DAC technology in Mobile County, Alabama. The project team includes personnel from various organizations, including 8 Rivers, Aircapture, Crescent Resource Innovation, ENTECH Strategies, Georgia Tech, Mitternight, RTI International, Southern… Continue reading Southeast DAC Hub (SEDAC)
A commercial-scale geological storage complex in Shelby County, Alabama. Southern States Energy Board plans to assess local industrial CO2 sources and storage reservoirs in Shelby County, Alabama to establish the feasibility of a commercial-scale geological storage complex. Targets for storage reservoirs include the deep Ketona Dolomite, secondary porous carbonate formations, and other low-permeability sedimentary rocks.
The project is intended to be a flagship for long-term growth of clean hydrogen development and utilization in the Gulf Coast region. The LIGH2T proposal includes access to and ownership of the region’s existing hydrogen infrastructure. This existing infrastructure will enable rapid at-scale utilization for a clean hydrogen network complete with production, transportation, storage and… Continue reading LIGH2T: Leading in Gulf Coast Hydrogen Transition (Encouraged)
