NextDecade subsidiary Rio Grande LNG has withdrawn a proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project and requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) terminate the proceeding.
“We appreciate the FERC’s diligence during the review process,” said Chairman and CEO Matt Schatzman said in a press release. “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.”
