Project Overview:
Bechtel has entered into a joint venture (JV) with a third-party engineering and procurement company to perform the EPC for a carbon capture project. The project will be constructed at an existing combined cycle facility in Baytown Texas for Calpine Baytown Energy Center. The Baytown Energy Center is a three-train natural gas-fired, combined cycle power plant located in Baytown, Texas which Calpine has identified as a candidate for retrofitting Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology. The facility currently supplies the adjacent Covestro complex with electricity and steam, as well as added power for the Texas grid. The new CCU facility shall be designed to remove 95% of the CO2 from the Cogen flue gas streams from two (2) gas turbines, which translates to a capture nameplate capacity of 2.2 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA).
The Project is currently in a FEED verification type phase of the Project consisting of value engineering/constructability cost reduction studies, construction execution planning, development of AACE Class 2 estimate deliverables, and an overall EPC proposal. Project milestones are currently estimated as follows:
Phase 1 Completion: 3Q2025
EPC Starts: 1Q2026
Construction Starts: 3Q2026
Construction Completion: 3Q2029
CSU Completion: 1Q2030
