Business Wire
NextDecade Corporation (NextDecade or the Company) (NASDAQ:
NEXT) announced today that its subsidiary Rio Grande LNG, LLC
withdrew its application at the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) for the proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS)
project at the Rio Grande LNG facility and requested that the FERC
terminate the CCS proceeding.
“We appreciate the FERC’s diligence during the review process,”
said NextDecade Chairman and CEO Matt Schatzman. “The CCS project
at RGLNG is not sufficiently developed to allow FERC review to
continue at this time. We remain committed to advancing and
lowering the cost of utilizing carbon capture and storage and
helping companies reduce their facility emissions and achieving
their clean energy goals.”
