Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) received an order for a world's largest post combustion CO2 capture system for the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project in Texas, which is primarily promoted by NRG Energy and JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration (JX Nippon) of Japan. The system will capture CO2 from flue gas from an existing coal-fired power generation plant and will have a CO2 capture capacity of 4,776 metric tons per day (mtpd). MHI received the CO2 capture system order from Petra Nova CCS, a special purpose company (SPC) of NRG and one of the companies implementing the project, through Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America (MHIA), a wholly owned subsidiary of MHI in the U.S. The system is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2016.
