Calpine and ExxonMobil Sign CO2 Transportation and Storage Agreement for CCS Project in Texas

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.

Sunflower Files Application for New Coal-fired Unit

LCG, January 14, 2010--Sunflower Electric Power Corporation (Sunflower) submitted a new application to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) for an air permit to build an 895-MW, coal-fired unit at an existing electric generating station near Holcomb, Kansas.

KDHE is expected to review the application over the next three to six month and then issue a draft permit for public comment. The renewed effort to permit the facility follows a lengthy battle to install the new, coal-fired generating capacity.

Sunflower initially filed an application to construct the facility in 2006, when the governor was Kathleen Sebelius, the current U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services. While governor, Ms. Sebelius denied an air quality permit for Sunflower's project and vetoed three measures submitted by the Legislature to overturn the decision to reject the permit.

In May 2009, Governor Parkinson, who replaced Sebelius, approved a settlement agreement with Sunflower that permits the construction of a single, 895-MW unit, rather than two, 700-MW units. With the settlement and subsequent passage of an energy plan supporting the coal-fired project by the Kansas Legislature, it appeared that the project would proceed to construction. However, last summer the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directed Sunflower to restart the permit process for the proposed unit.
