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.

Con Edison and LIPA Proceed with Plans for 700-MW Offshore Wind Farm
LCG, April 1, 2009--Consolidated Edison (Con Edison) and state-owned, Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) and recently announced plans for further study of a wind farm located approximately 13 miles offshore from the Rockaway Peninsula. The project is spurred on by the Governor of New York's Renewable Energy Task Force and the Governor's "45 by 15" program, which sets a target to meet 45 percent of New York's load from renewable energy resources and improved energy efficiency by the year 2015.
The two utilities released on March 23 a joint feasibility study, which included results that support up to 700 MW of wind capacity being developed offshore, given corresponding significant upgrades are made to the transmission system.
An initial phase with a capacity of 350 MW would likely be the first step. To allow for substantial further capacity expansions, LIPA and Con Edison filed an application to interconnect the wind farm with the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) for up to 1400 MW by 2020.
LIPA and Con Edison now plan to work with the State of New York, the New York Power Authority (NYPA), New York City, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Port Authority to issue a request for expressions of interest (RFEI) for offshore wind development. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued later in 2009.
