CCS Expands in East Texas, SAF grows internationally

Development Activity

• Reliant CCS submits a stunning 44 well carbon storage development in Southwest Alabama

BKV continues CCS partnership with Energy Transfer with new East Texas development

• BKV expands CCS partnership with Energy Transfer to decarbonize East Texas natural gas processing facilities

• BKV is building a large CCS network in East Texas that already has CO2 committed from Comstock’s Marquez and Bethel natural gas processing facilities

• CarbonStorage.io is tracking the unidentified asset as Energy Transfer’s Ridge Amine Plant in Marquez, Texas for a 70,000 mt per year carbon capture project.

• The partnership already includes ‘Lima Tango CCS’ where 177,000 mt of CO2 are captured and sequestered into a nearby Class II well in South Texas

Reliant CCS begins permitting process for Alabama’s largest carbon storage project

• Reliant CCS has partnered with large timber owner, Rayonier, in December 2024 to lease 104,000 acres in Southwest Alabama

  • Rayonier has led carbon storage partnerships with 92,000 acres with ExxonMobil - making carbon storage a growth strategy

• The Pine Hills Sequestration Hub plans to sequester up to 30 million tons of CO2 per year - making it a world class biomass-to-X hub for carbon credits

Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies have signed a global alliance agreement for carbon capture delivery

• Shell and Technip Energies are teaming up through a new global alliance to roll out Shell’s CANSOLV CO₂ capture technology with a goal to make carbon capture easier to scale and more affordable

• Shell brings the tech; Technip Energies handles integration and project delivery—so customers get a full, end-to-end solution.

• One standout project is Net Zero Teesside Power in the UK, which aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power plant with full carbon capture.

• CCS partnerships have continued to grow as developers and technology licensors expand reach to drive down full project life cycle costs including:

  1. ExxonMobil and MHI alliance

  2. Tenaska and Svante collaboration

  3. Oxy acquiring Carbon Engineering

  4. Chevron and GE Vernova partnership

Galveston LNG Bunker Port partners with Loa Carbon for e-methane project

• GLBP and Loa Carbon have signed a Letter of Intent for Loa to supply renewable e‑methane, which GLBP will convert into e‑LNG for marine fuel. Expected to be the first dedicated marine liquefaction terminal on the U.S. Gulf Coast, operations begin in 2028.

• The site leverages captured CO₂ from nearby sources and low-cost ERCOT renewable power, enabling co-located e‑methane production and liquefaction. This lets shipowners use low-carbon fuel without modifying vessels or fueling systems.

• The facility will also allow blending e‑methane with conventional LNG to meet FuelEU standards and cut well-to-wake carbon intensity.

• GLBP is a joint venture by Pilot LNG and Seapath Group to develop, own and operate the first dedicated small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast to serve the growing clean-energy marine fuels market.

  • GLBP is right on the Texas City Ship Channel and set up to supply LNG by fuel barge to the growing number of LNG-powered ships around the Houston-Galveston area

CPS Energy and Modern Hydrogen team up for San Antonio pilot project

• CPS Energy and Modern Hydrogen are piloting a clean hydrogen project in San Antonio using a modular MH500 unit that produces 500 kg/day via methane pyrolysis—splitting natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon without CO₂ emissions.

• Some hydrogen powers the process itself, making it energy self-sufficient. The output can support power, fuel-cell vehicles, or blend (up to 20%) into gas systems.

• Solid carbon is captured and reused, such as in asphalt. The modular setup avoids new pipelines and integrates with existing infrastructure.

• CPS operates 3 natural gas power generation facilities in Greater San Antonio

• Similarly, Graphitc Energy is also piloting its methane pyrolysis technology in San Antonio.

UK awards £60+ million in SAF funding

• The UK government has announced £63m ($84.9m) of funding for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects as part of the Department for Transport’s (DfT’s) Alternative Fuels Fund — more than half of which will go towards schemes that will produce clean hydrogen-based fuels.

• Trudvang CCS Project, operated by Vår Energi in partnership with Storegga and INPEX Idemitsu Norge, has successfully passed its feasibility gate (DG1), marking a significant step toward becoming one of Europe’s leading storage hubs.

• SLB Awarded Carbon Storage Contract for Northern Endurance Partnership Project in UK

• UK To Integrate Carbon Removals Into ETS

• 45Q utilization now has price parity with geological sequestration

• Sasol and INTERAC sign partnership for next generation e-SAF

• Zaffra & Moeve sign MOU to develop e-SAF Facilities in Spain
