A 2017 study demonstrating that saline and depleted hydrocarbon storage reservoirs within a storage complex can store industrial CO2 emissions safely, permanently, and economically. The study was part of the CarbonSAFE Initiative. It was conducted by the University of Texas at Austin, partnered with the DOE. It sought to identify near-offshore storage resources on the… Continue reading Integrated CCS Pre-Feasibility in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico
The development of the Trinity Fuels Plant on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Fulcrum’s process is spread across three separate facilities: two Feedstock Processing Facilities that prepare the household garbage and one biorefinery that will convert the prepared feedstock into jet fuel. The Trinity Fuels Plant was expected to initiate commercial production in 2026, producing approximately 31… Continue reading Fulcrum | Trinity Fuels Plant

Sandpiper’s current design and construction of this natural gas-to-methanol manufacturing facility would be located on land leased from Eastman Chemicals at the Bay Street site. Once operating… Continue reading Sandpiper Blue Methanol Plant
A facility manufacturing bio-methanol from biomass in Texas.
A green methanol production facility in Beaumont, Texas. The green methanol comes from a mix of renewable feedstocks, including renewable natural gas, green hydrogen and other over-the-fence feedstock partnerships. As of 2023, OCI produces 200,000 metric tons/year. In September 2023, it announced its intention to double production.
In a 2022 report, Mitsui notes the manufacturing of bio-methanol through biogas at Fairway Methanol, a joint venture with Texas-based Celanese corporation. Fairway Methanol is manufacturing low-carbon methanol and constructing a CCU business. The project began running in January 2024. It is expected to capture 180,000 metric tons of CO2 industrial emissions and produce 130,000 metric… Continue reading Mitsui | Celanese | Fairway Methanol
A 200,000 metric ton per year waste-to-methanol production facility that would include a waste processing and treatment facility, a biorefinery, and an electrolyzer for green hydrogen production. The project would source approximately 320,000 MTPA of regional biomass that would be stored, treated, and dried. The treated biogenic waste would be fed to a gasifier, which… Continue reading Proman Waste-to-Methanol Facility
