Lake Charles Methanol Carbon Capture

The Lake Charles Methanol II carbon capture project is a blue methanol facility planned at the Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana, that will combine advanced natural gas reforming with on-site carbon capture and sequestration to produce low-carbon methanol and hydrogen. The facility’s design includes capturing about 1 million tonnes of CO₂ per year from the syngas production process before it is released to the atmosphere and permanently storing the CO₂ in deep saline formations nearby.
