Strategic Biofuels has entered into an agreement with SLB, to provide carbon sequestration services for Strategic Biofuel’s Louisiana Green Fuels (LGF) Project, supporting the production of deeply carbon-negative fuels. In the past 20 years, SLB has been involved in over 100 carbon sequestration projects around the world in various industry sectors.
Strategic Biofuels is developing a biofuel refinery that will be powered by an adjacent bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) power plant for its LGF project in Columbia, Louisiana. The project focuses on converting forestry wood waste from established and sustainable pine plantations into renewable fuels and electric power, then permanently storing the resulting CO2 emissions from both the refinery and the power plant in porous rock formations thousands of feet below ground. Strategic Biofuels made an application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a Class VI permit for CCS and has been notified by the agency that it is administratively complete and that technical review has begun.
When the biofuel refinery and BECCS plant come online, LGF will have the capacity to offset up to 1.36 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, the equivalent impact of 274,000 cars per year.
SLB will provide site de-risking and front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for the CCS complex that will be located on and around the biofuel refinery and BECCS plant. The agreement includes provisions for future services, including injection operations and long-term CO2 monitoring.
