Aalo Atomics is showing off their scale-able reactor at their new manufacturing facility in Texas!

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!  We hope you enjoyed your weekend and the nice weather we had.  Now let’s get started.

By now you probably realize we like energy!  We wrote in regard to Texas A&M (TAMU) seeking permission to get a site permit for commercial nuclear reactors on campus from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) last year, and in February we blogged on the companies whose proposals were accepted for RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas for small module reactors (SMRs). (Check out our Blog in November 2024 for details.)    Well, one of those companies released some big news last week.

Did anyone happen to read the Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on April 11, 2025, their article titled, “Company working to create modular nuclear power plants- Protype from Aalo Atomics designed specifically to power artificial intelligence, data centers”?  In the article, it goes on to speak on how Aalo Atomics, an Austin based company has recently had their open house for potential users and investors for their 40,000-square-foot model manufacturing facility.  The Aalo Atomic’s founders believe they have found their niche as power for the artificial intelligence and data center industry.  Currently, Aalo Atomics has advanced their design and technology with their model reactor called, “Aalo-1” and it was shown at their event last week.  The “Aalo-1” reactor features their Aalo Pod XMR, a 50-megawatt (MW) scalable power plant.  Aalo Atomics “Aalo-1” has five units which use 10 MW reactors which may be expanded to reach up into gigawatts for a client’s individual needs.  Aalo Atomics breakthrough includes their reactor’s ability to not need groundwater or surface water source, to use a sodium cooled system, and to be built onsite of the facility.  Another way Aalo Atomics saves on cost is it uses low-enriched uranium.   Aalo Atomics manufacturing plant expects to make the parts or components for its technology then ship it to the site and assemble it there in a way like a prefabricated home, and they expect to make 16 reactors a year.  Currently, Aalo Atomics is collaborating with Crusoe and their model 200-MW data center which is being constructed in Abilene, Texas. They have bought property in Bastrop County for non-nuclear testing.  Aalo Atomic is hoping its reactor will help the U.S. become a leader in nuclear energy!  We wish them luck!  If you would like to read more of the Houston Chronicle’s article from PressReader, please click the link: PressReader.com - Digital Newspaper & Magazine Subscriptions.  In case it doesn't open, check out the San Antonio Press News: Austin company plans to mass manufacture nuclear power plants.

Learnings from the GHPB’s Commerce Club Luncheon from Thursday, April 10, 2025.

Happy Thursday and Friday!  Sorry; we didn’t get this published until today!  It was one of those overscheduled days! 

We went to the Greater Houston Port Bureau’s (GHPB) Commerce Club Luncheon at the Houston Marriot South at Hobby Airport today. 

The speaker was Phyllis Saathoff, Executive Port Director/CEO of Port Freeport.  Ms. Saathoff has been in the port industry for over thirty years!  She has been the CEO of Port Freeport since 2016.  Ms. Saathoff and her team have helped with the development and expansion of the port by bringing more companies and improvement projects.  She decided to give us a short history lesson on this lucrative port with her inspiration being Charlie Jenkins of Port Houston a speaker from earlier this year at a Commerce Club Luncheon.  (Check out our Blog in February from the Commerce Club Luncheon.)

Ms. Saathoff gave us a brief history on Port Freeport.  This year is Port Freeport is celebrating its centennial year!   In 1821, Stephen F. Austin landed at the mouth of the Brazos River.  It wasn’t the port we know today, nonetheless it is where it had its humble beginnings.  In 1824, a colony was started, and they realized the river needed to be diverted, if they were going to develop a port.  The good people of the area went to the U.S. government for help, and they were given federal funds and other monies to develop a port for commerce.  At the end of the 1890s, the US Government decided the port had value and took over developing and building the channel and port.  In 1925, the good citizens voted to establish Brazos River Harbor Navigation District which is a deepwater port.  Once the port authority was established, they decided on a Board of 3 elected commissioners, and seven and a half miles of the Brazos River was moved.  By 1929, they were almost finished on this small humble port.  In 1936, the port established the public docks.  In the 1960s, the port’s Board was expanded to six elected officials.  The channel has been deepened or the river’s opening widened were some of the changes done over the years to expand the port.  The current deepening of the channel should be finished this year.  In the 2010s, they expanded the public docks and the Velasco Container Terminal, and the improvements are still coming!     

Ms. Saathoff gave us a rundown of the port’s current projects.  The Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project received its starting designation in 2020, and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock started dredging the channel in the Spring of 2021, and the project was given a four-year timeline.  The channel will be deepened to 56-feet and partially widened and should conclude by the end of the year in time to be part of its centennial celebration.  Ms. Saathoff spoke on the Velasco Container Terminal which is in its Phase 2 of its project six paved acres and 15 acres are still under construction and 10 acres are expected to be part of the 2026 Fiscal Year budget.  The Velasco Container Terminal’s final part of Phase 2 will be having two Post-Panamax Gantry Cranes installed.  Ms. Saathoff spoke of the new security gate which should be opening soon. Then, she briefly spoke on the new infrastructure the port will be developing now it has received $22.6 million from the Texas Department of Transportation and $22 million from the U.S Department of Transportation.  Ms. Saathoff mentioned the port received funding from the Clean Port Federal grants and they will be choosing a grant manager soon.  Well, this was the rundown of her current projects coming or happening now at Port Freeport.   

Thank you, Phyllis Saathoff!  You are an interesting and informative speaker, and we are looking forward to seeing what Port Freeport does next!

As you see the speakers at the GHPB’s Commerce Club Luncheons bring an informative talk to all that attend.  The next Commerce Club Luncheon is May 8, 2025, at 11 a.m.  The guest speaker at the next luncheon is Barbara Pickering, President, Chevron Shipping Company.  She should give us a good talk on issues affecting the maritime industry.   Ms. Pickering spoke at the GHPB’s Women of Maritime Happy Hour and she gave an informative talk.   Please check out the website, if you would like to learn more.  May 2025 Commerce Club Luncheon - Greater Houston Port Bureau.

The Poseidon Project off the coast of the UK moves to the next stage after a successful CO2 injection test.

Happy Wednesday!  We hope you have had a chance to get out to enjoy the Spring weather!   

We thought we should update you on a previous Blog from February on the Poseidon Project!  Please check out our Blog for further details.

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update on April 9, 2025, their article titled, “Perenco concludes CO2 injection test at Project Poseidon”?  In the article, it speaks on Perenco UK, and its partners have completed their test of injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into an exhausted subsurface formation offshore the UK in the Perenco-operated Leman gas field.  This offshore CCS project is called the Poseidon Project is a partnership between Perenco UK and Carbon Catalyst Ltd. (CCL) and Harbour Energy.  The Poseidon Project test injections were successful in demonstrating storing CO2 in the Leman gas field is a practical solution.  The Leman gas fields include a variety of exhausted gas subsurface formations and brine formations which have the capabilities to hold CO2 underground. The CO2 injection test in the Leman gas field used an exhausted natural gas subsurface formation which had 15 injection cycles included 11 CO2 offshore batch refills.  The test was successful, and the Poseidon Project will be advancing.  We wish them luck with their offshore project.  If you would like to read more of the Oil & Gas Journal’s article, please click the link Perenco concludes CO2 injection test at Project Poseidon | Oil & Gas Journal.

Don’t forget to check out our ESC website or contact us via the email in the Blog, if you have a hydrocarbon liquids project you would like to see get off the ground or you would like to see what’s under your feet to help with your emissions!  

We hope you have a wonderful evening!

Executive orders signed to help the coal industry!

Happy Tuesday!

Did anyone happen to read MSN on April 8, 2025, they had an article from The Guardian titled, “Trump signs orders to allow coal-fired power plants to remain open”?  In the article, it speaks on how on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, President Trump through a lifeboat to the coal industry.  President Trump signed four executive orders or presidential directives to help the coal industry.  The first presidential directive will remove agency biases against the coal industry and allow lease sales for federal lands for coal mining and expedite permitting.  The next presidential directive suspends all Biden administration policies against coal power plants who are set to retire.  Another presidential directive will help with policies to push powering the power grids by sustainable and reliable sources like fossil fuels.  Lasty, the final presidential directs the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce the law in regard to states which have started to move away from coal and other fossil fuels.  President Trump has embraced coal and other fossil fuels as the answer to our help us power the future!  As you would suspect the environmentalists had lots to say in response to today’s executive orders.  If you would like to read more of the article from The Guardian published on MSN, please click the link:   Trump signs orders to allow coal-fired power plants to remain open.

1PointFive’s has its first Class VI Well permit for a DAC project in Texas!

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!   

We love articles which tie to our previous Blogs.  We blogged about Oxy’s subsidiary 1PointFive and its projects in East Texas “Bluebonnet”, West Texas “Stratos”, Louisiana “Magnolia” and their South Texas DAC Hub last Fall for either receiving federal funds or an update.  Well, 1PointFive is in the news again this time for accomplishing a milestone.  

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update on April 7, 2025, they had an article titled, “Occidental, 1PointFive secure Class VI permits to sequester CO2 from Texas DAC plant”?  The article is on Oxy Low Carbon Ventures LLC (OLCV) has recently secured a Class VI Permit for 3 of its wells for its 1PointFive’s “Stratos” Project in Ector County, Texas.  The Class VI Well permit falls under the purview of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act, and this type of permit needs constant monitoring which includes well reliability, ground water quality and circulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) as well as they need to have emergency contingencies and a plan for plugging.  1PointFive’s “Stratos” project met all the requirements for it to receive the permit.  OLCV parent company is Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY).  OLCV subsidiary is 1PointFive and a couple other innovative companies spearheading the carbon capture and sequestration or lithium extracting technologies.  The “Stratos” project is expected to be up and running later this year and may be the largest direct air capture facility anywhere.  We wish them luck moving their projects forward and we will let you know, if we hear anything else!  If you would like more information on this article from Oil and Gas Journal, please click the links: Occidental, 1PointFive secure Class VI permits to sequester CO2 from Texas DAC plant | Oil & Gas Journal.

We will keep you posted on the State of Texas and their quest to issue Class VI Well permits, too!  The EPA, so far has been quiet since issuing West Virginia earlier this year.  Check out our Blog in January for details.

The U.S. DOE has removed another obstacle in their strive to get American LNG exported.

Happy Wednesday!   

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Release on April 1, 2025, their announcement, “Energy Department Takes Action to Remove Barriers for Requests to LNG Export Commencement Date Extensions”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said they have made a change for those who need to delay their commencement date by removing the previous administration’s rigid measures for approved LNG projects.  The new measure will be based on commonsense.   The DOE’s new policy will still examine a company’s application for an extension of their Non-Free Trade Agreement (non-FTA) export permit by examining the status of construction and they will take into consideration the cause of the delay which may have been out of the company’s control.  A non-FTA export permit for is seven years.  Since the new administration has taken the reins there have been a few extensions granted.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Office, please click the link: Energy Department Takes Action to Remove Barriers for Requests to LNG ExportCommencement Date Extensions.
