Sargent & Lundy, a leader in carbon capture utilization and storage projects, will present insights from its collaborations with utilities and government agencies at the upcoming Carbon Capture Technology Expo North America in Houston June 25-26. A team of four carbon capture and regulatory policy specialists will lead discussions and present findings during the two-day conference focusing on the latest technologies, successes, and challenges facing the decarbonization of heavy industries and how carbon capture, utilization, and storage will play a key role in the transition to a carbon-neutral energy supply.
On the first day of the conference, Sargent & Lundy Project Director Kevin Lauzze will lead a panel discussion titled “A Techno-Economic Assessment on Deployment of Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Technologies.” Lauzze is responsible for overseeing and developing CCUS work at Sargent & Lundy, including support for the world’s largest membrane-based carbon capture plant at the Dry Fork Power Station in Gillette, Wyoming.
Later that day, Sargent & Lundy Project Director Patrick Daou will participate in a leadership roundtable discussion on “Navigating Project Evaluation and Risk.” The panel will assess how CCUS projects can establish methodologies to conduct due diligence to mitigate risks prior to investment opportunities. Daou leads the firm’s emerging technologies team and has over 13 years of experience providing engineering services and supporting innovative projects. He recently led a due diligence in support of Macquarie Asset Management’s $2.4 billion acquisition of power generation and pipeline assets in Texas and Louisiana.
Sargent & Lundy Project Manager Tyler Casados will participate on day two of the conference as part of a panel discussion on “Overcoming Pipeline Challenges to Develop Effective Carbon Capture Transportation and Storage Chains.” Casados, who supports the firm’s pipeline and compression projects, will discuss challenges implementing an extensive pipeline network to connect the value chain together and effectively decarbonize.
Wayshalee Patel, Sargent & Lundy’s director of environmental technologies, licensing, and permitting, will round out the conference as part of a strategic forum on “Regulatory Considerations for Carbon Capture Projects.” This presentation will discuss recent lessons learned from permitting a variety of carbon capture technologies, including important items to consider at the start of project planning. Patel’s team was instrumental in obtaining an air construction permit for the proposed Project Tundra carbon capture project in North Dakota.
Sargent & Lundy is an industry leader in integrating and developing carbon capture projects and has more than 15 years of experience with various utilities, technology providers, and developers. Sargent & Lundy has been involved in every step of carbon capture development, beginning with the U.S. Department of Energy’s pilot projects to the first-of-a-kind commercial projects currently being built. Since 2007, the firm has provided engineering support for more than 100 carbon capture projects, including the Petra Nova CO2 capture project, which is the largest of its kind in the world.
The firm also provided engineering, procurement, and construction services in 2020 for the pioneering Project Enterprise pilot system in California that successfully reduced carbon emissions from a slipstream by at least 95% in a cost-effective way using sustainable solvent technologies.
