Newly merged company building a plant to make renewable gasoline and using CCS to catch emissions in California!

 Happy Thursday!  We have almost survived the week! 

Did anyone see The Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on August 18, 2023, their article titled, “Verde planning renewable project in California”?  In the article, it is about Verde Clean Fuels a newly formed company who merged two companies (Bluescape Clean Fuels and CENAQ Energy Corp.) earlier this year.   They are going to build a renewable gasoline production plant in Kern County, California which will use waste feedstocks (biomass, municipal solid waste, mixed plastics) and renewable natural gas, and they have teamed up with TerraVault JV HoldCo who will help with carbon capture to catch their emissions.  The plant is expected to make about 21,000 gallons of renewable gasoline a day.  The technology called, ‘syngas-to-gasoline plus’ which was developed by Cenaq Energy will be made at the new plant.  Their timeline is to begin construction in 2025 and be operating in 2027.  If you would like to read more of The Houston Chronicle’s article, please click the link: Houston-based Verde plans renewable gasoline project in California (houstonchronicle.com).
