San Patricio-Aransas-Nueces CO2 Infrastructure Project — Southern States Energy Board, (The Woodlands, Texas) will develop a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study to assess the feasibility of developing a modular, open-hub carbon dioxide transportation network that connects several carbon dioxide sources from industrial and power facilities around the Port of Corpus of Christi to nearby large-capacity offshore permanent storage sites. The project builds upon a pre-FEED study and detailed site characterization activities in the proposed offshore permanent storage sites of the Mustang Island and Port Aransas North tracts in Texas state waters. The FEED study will develop the information necessary to consider a final investment decision for the project’s future buildout. Additional project objectives include: 1) developing a regulatory plan based on engagements with local, state, and federal regulatory agencies and other affected stakeholders; 2) implementing a community benefits plan aimed at delivering long-term benefits to impacted communities through meaningful engagement and investments in job quality and a skilled workforce; and (3) completing an environmental, safety, and health analysis for the proposed project and publicly sharing the results.
