Lake Charles Power Station Integrated CO2 Capture Project

Lake Charles Carbon Capture Project is a proposed integrated carbon capture and sequestration system to capture, transport, and permanently store CO₂ emissions from Entergy Corporation’s 994 MW natural gas-fired Lake Charles Power Station in Westlake, Louisiana. The project is structured around a carbon capture facility and associated pipeline network that together aim to capture and transport up to 3 million metric tonnes of CO₂ per year, reducing emissions that would otherwise be released from the power plant. Crescent Midstream will lead development and construction, leveraging its pipeline construction and midstream expertise, while Entergy is the host site owner. The project also involves Samsung E&A (engineering and project support) and Honeywell, which will provide the carbon capture technology. The initiative is expected to cost around $1 billion and, if fully pursued, would be one of the largest carbon capture projects in the United States. Captured CO₂ will be compressed to pipeline quality and routed to permanent underground storage, with planning and permitting targeted ahead of a potential construction start in 2026 and completion around 2028
