Coastal Bend LNG, a privately held energy infrastructure development company, has launched a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study with Solvanic for electrochemically mediated amine regeneration (EMAR) carbon capture at its planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) project along the Texas Gulf Coast.

While disclosing the start-up of a carbon capture FEED study at its Coastal Bend LNG facility, the developer of the multi-train natural gas liquefaction and export project on the Texas Gulf Coast explained that Solvanic signed an option agreement for use of the EMAR technology, originally developed by Professor T. Alan Hatton ’s research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Chemical Engineering.
