LCG, April 29, 2025--Officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) today outlining the state’s plans to administer programs related to carbon storage wells, known as Class VI wells. The MOA signing is a required step in the RRC’s application to be granted authority to permit Class VI wells in the state of Texas. EPA is currently preparing a proposed approval of RRC’s primacy application.

LCG, April 24, 2025--Exxon Mobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) announced yesterday an agreement with Calpine Corporation (Calpine) to transport and permanently store up to 2 million metric tons per annum (MTA) of CO2 from Calpine’s Baytown Energy Center, a natural gas-fired facility located near Houston, Texas. This is part of Calpine’s Baytown Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project that is designed to add CCS for the facility’s CO2 emissions. The Calpine facility could then provide a 24/7 supply of low-carbon electricity to the Texas grid plus steam to nearby industrial facilities.

Governor Issues Order to Increase New Jersey's Offshore Wind Goal to 7,500 MW
LCG, November 20, 2019--The Governor of New Jersey yesterday signed an executive order to increase the offshore wind capacity goal to 7,500 MW by 2035 in order reach an overall goal of 100 percent clean-energy by 2050.
The Governor had previously set a goal to install 3,500 MW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, along with an executive order directing the development of an updated Energy Master Plan (EMP) for the State to achieve a goal of 100 percent "clean energy" by 2050. The New Jersey Renewable Energy Standard includes a 50 percent renewable energy requirement by 2030.
The Governor stated yesterday, "That's more than double the output. That's more investment. That's more jobs. That's more clean energy. When we meet this goal, our offshore winds will generate enough electricity to power more than 3.2 million New Jersey homes. We will meet half of our electric power need. We will generate billions of dollars in investments in our state's future that will, in turn, generate thousands of union jobs."
In June, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) announced that it had selected Ørsted's Ocean Wind proposal for the State's first offshore wind project. The 1,100-MW Ocean Wind project is located 15 miles off the coast of Atlantic City. Subject to permitting and final investment decision, Ocean Wind is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
The Governor of New Jersey is not alone in using an executive order to drive investments in offshore wind and other renewable resources. The Governor of Virginia signed an executive order in September that sets forth Virginia's objectives for statewide production of electricity. The Virginia executive order calls for 30 percent of Virginia's electric system to be powered by renewable energy resources by 2030, and 100 percent of Virginia's electricity to be produced from carbon-free sources such as wind, solar and nuclear by 2050. The plan requires at least 3,000 MW of solar and onshore wind are under development by 2022, and that up to 2,500 MW of offshore wind are fully developed on an accelerated timeline by 2026.
