Leading subsurface side of commercial-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects for NEXTDECADE. NEXTDECADE, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Rio Grande LNG and NEXT Carbon Solutions, is developing a 27 MTPA LNG export project in South Texas along with one of the largest carbon capture and storage projects (5 MTPA CO2) in North America. The Rio Grande LNG project is expected to be one of the largest and most sustainable LNG projects in the world, linking Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale natural gas to the global LNG market.Additional: Evaluating Geothermal Heat (Power) & Hydrogen Storage
