Tensions between Russia and Ukraine could impede natural gas supplies for Europe, which in turn could increase demand for liquefied natural gas. If so, this trend would be unlikely to provide a major boost for Louisiana’s LNG sector in the short term, because the sector’s capacity already is basically maxed out, says David Dismukes, executive director of the LSU Center for Energy Studies. However, it could make a big difference eventually if it causes Europeans to rethink their reliance on Russian gas. “It should have some positive effect on…
Read MoreThe continual decline in production cost for wind, solar, and EV batteries was touted as the driver of their growing adoption and ultimate takeover of the global grid. Up until two years ago, there was no other scenario on the table—even though inflation was as much a reality then as it is now. Only now, it has become a lot more pronounced. At a recent metals and mining conference in Riyadh, several attendees noted that the mining industry had fallen out of favor with lenders because it was deemed as damaging for the environment as oil and gas. Yet now, it is becoming…
Read MoreSaying “America can’t afford to wait for ‘some-day’ answers,’” Louisiana business leader Charles E. “Chas” Roemer today announced plans to expand and accelerate the scope and timetable for the G2 net-zero emissions energy complex to be built in Southwest Louisiana. Roemer said the facility will, within the next four years, be the first to use NET Power’s breakthrough technology to deliver to the marketplace environmentally responsible electrical power and will be...
Open Press ReleaseNET Power and G2 Net-Zero LNG executed a new Letter of Intent following the release of a pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) report last week. G2’s Net-Zero LNG export facility will be the first to integrate NET Power’s Allam-Fetvedt Cycle technology which removes all CO2 emissions from the natural gas liquefaction process to achieve a unique carbon net-zero energy mix of industrial gases, electricity and LNG. The pre-FEED report is a key milestone in accelerating the project’s FEED study, which is already partially completed, with increased confidence...
Open Press ReleaseAt full capacity, proposed Louisiana LNG export facility G2 Net Zero plans to capture over 4 million tons of carbon dioxide on an annual basis, Chairman Chas Roemer tells Natural Gas Intelligence in a new interview. Roemer tells the energy market publication he believes his project is the first net-zero LNG export project under development in the world and—more importantly—will be the first to achieve net-zero…
Read MoreGlobal buyers are increasingly scrutinizing how liquefied natural gas (LNG) is produced and delivered, with an eye on the environment. A proposed export terminal in Louisiana could be the first to produce net-zero emissions LNG. G2 Net Zero LNG Chairman Chas Roemer believes a more responsibly produced LNG is imperative as both the environment and market demand it. At full capacity, the G2 terminal would produce 13 million metric tons/year (mmty) of LNG from a location on the Calcasieu Ship Channel. The company expects to start exporting…
Read MoreWASHINGTON - Two years ago, Louisiana investor Chas Roemer was moving ahead on building an LNG export terminal in southwest Louisiana when he ripped up his plans. With customers abroad under regulatory pressures to address climate change, he decided his project needed to be cleaner than the glut of other LNG facilities going up along the Gulf Coast. So, Roemer, a partner at a Baton Rouge private equity, began looking into storing underground the vast amounts of carbon dioxide his facility would produce. And he wasn’t alone. Plans…
Read More Open PDFG2 Net-Zero LNG Chairman Chas Roemer today announced the appointment of Angele Davis as G2’s new CEO. Tom Hudson, G2’s former CEO, will stay on as a senior advisor to Roemer and Davis. “Tom was pivotal in getting G2 to the position where we are poised to be the world’s first net-zero emissions LNG industrial complex,” said Roemer. “No one else could have gotten us so far, so fast, partnering us with a lineup of industry game-changers. He and I have been talking about this transition for a year and we believe this is the right time. We feel fortunate to have someone with Angele’s skills and experience to take the project from here.” Davis, who joined G2 as Chief Financial ...
Press Release BioProgress has picked up on the proposed G2 LNG facility on the Calcasieu Ship Channel. Now known as G2 Net Zero LNG, the company plans to build the world’s first net-zero greenhouse emissions LNG and industrial gas production complex to differentiate it from other LNG projects. The team is now composed of several global innovators including Siemens Energy, Inc. and 8 Rivers/NET Power. The firm is at the capital raising stage and wants to start with construction (beginning September 2022) of a $1.136 billion NET power plant.
Open PDFG2 Net-Zero LNG, formerly known as G2 LNG, is an energy products company based in Louisiana. In partnership with Siemens Energy, infrastructure developer 8 Rivers/NET Power and energy advisory firm EJM Associates, it plans to build the world’s first net-zero LNG export and industrial gas production complex. G2 Net-Zero LNG says the 13 mtpa plant, located on the Calcasieu Ship Channel, three miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, will be the first to deliver “a profitable portfolio of uniquely differentiated energy products,” while achieving net-zero....
Read More Open PDFPavilion Energy is closing in on the world’s first term supply deal for carbon-neutral LNG after issuing a request for proposal (RFP) in April. As part of the RFP, the firm requested potential suppliers to commit to jointly develop and implement a greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification and reporting methodology, covering emissions from the wellhead through to the LNG terminal. Spinning the line of ‘gas being the cleanest burning fossil fuel’ is no longer enough for the industry facing the decarbonisation agenda, as emphasis of regulators and public opinion has shifted to GHG emissions associated with the LNG full...
Read MoreA US liquefied natural gas export terminal project, shelved in 2017, will seek new approval for novel plan to curb emissions with technology and offsets. Developers of a long-planned US liquefied natural gas export terminal in Louisiana have relaunched the project with an ambitious goal: to be the first net-zero carbon emissions LNG facility in the world. They will restart the process of getting a permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission early next year, after exiting the federal permitting process in 2017 as competition had stacked up in the US LNG sector, the project's chairman Charles...

Read MoreIt has become clear that achieving emissions targets and meeting the world’s growing demand for power will require a mix of generation from cost-competitive renewables and cleaner-burning hydrocarbons—most notably natural gas. Through 2040, the two are expected to make up 80% of additional energy demand (from today), with gas taking the lion’s share at 43%. Despite its emergence as a bridge fuel to a future where renewables dominate the energy landscape, the environmental impact associated with producing, transporting and delivering natural gas in the form of LNG to…
