Louisiana-based integrated energy firm Entergy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group companies, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America (MHIA) and Mitsubishi Power Americas, are teaming up to explore carbon capture opportunities.
Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), the companies aim to develop projects which will halve overall costs in the near term and benefit Entergy’s power generation sites.
Together, Entergy and MHI Group will draw on their respective expertise with the goal of advancing the adoption of CCS to help decarbonise energy, with the added benefit of reducing associated long-term costs for the broader energy industry.
Entergy’s operations sit near the largest existing carbon dioxide pipeline network in the US, and its region offers some of the nation’s most suitable subsurface geology for safely and permanently storing captured CO2 deep underground.
MHI Group’s integrated CCS solution includes M501JAC gas turbines from Mitsubishi Power Americas and carbon capture technology from MHIA.
Kimberly Cook-Nelson, Entergy’s COO, said scale, strong partnerships, and standardisation are keys to success and it is dedicated to providing reliable and affordable clean power for customers and communities.
Bill Newsom, President and CEO, Mitsubishi Power Americas, added that achieving meaningful decarbonisation will require more than breakthrough technologies but strong partnerships that make those technologies commercially viable.
He said the MOU builds on its longstanding relationship with Entergy and combines expertise in power generation, project development and innovation, which can accelerate the commercialisation of integrated gas turbine and CCS solutions.
Yusuke Yoshida, EVP, President of Engineered Systems Division, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, said MHI’s carbon capture technology is designed to deliver proven, scalable results with the economics required to meet growing demand for clean and reliable power.
