Renewable Natural Gas Growth and CO2 Emission Reduction Strategies
KINDER MORGAN
Opportunity to Capture Carbon from Stationary Sources
U.S. CO2 EMISSIONS FROM POINT SOURCES million metric tons
■ landfills
■ LNG storage & import/export equipment
■ ethanol
■ ammonia manufacturing
■ hydrogen production
■nat gas processing
■ iron & steel production
■cement production
■ refineries
■nat gas power
■ coal
Other facilities - lower potential for carbon
capture
capture opportunity...
-
~1,900 mmtpa, or ~100 bcfd, CO2 emissions
associated with facilities that could be candidates
for carbon capture
Ethanol facilities and natural gas
processing/treating facilities may be economic
today under current 45Q
-
Together, these emissions represent ~1.2
bcfd of CO2 potential
...is tempered by
-
Facilities are spread out geographically;
aggregation is challenged
CO2 stream purity varies by facility type, impacts
economics
Power plants are larger scale opportunities but
capture requires high uptime factor, problematic for
natural gas peakers
Additionally, coal power plants could face nearer-
term retirement
