NextDecade Corp. has withdrawn its request for FERC to review a proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Brownsville, TX, that was previously proposed to reduce emissions from its Rio Grande LNG (RGLNG) export project.
The Houston-based firm disclosed it voluntarily ended the application process to amend its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorization for the liquefied natural gas project to include the CCS facility.
“We appreciate the FERC’s diligence during the review process,” CEO Matt Schatzman said. “The CCS project at RGLNG is not sufficiently developed to allow FERC review to continue at this time. We remain committed to advancing and lowering the cost of utilizing carbon capture and storage and helping companies reduce their facility emissions and achieving their clean energy goals.”
