TX Energy Carbon Management and Gasification Project

Nominators: United States (Lead), Canada, and France

Recognized by the CSLF at its London Ministerial meeting in October 2009, this project is a large-scale demonstration of CCS utilizing CO2 produced by polygeneration industrial gasification. The project will capture about five million tons per year of CO2 from an industrial petroleum coke gasification facility near Beaumont, Texas, USA, for use in enhanced oil recovery or other geologic sequestration applications. Goals of the project include demonstration of integrated CCS at very large scale and low incremental cost; and demonstration of technologies, equipment, procedures, methodologies, operations, and supporting infrastructure for each step of the industrial gasification and CCS processes at such a scale.
