The Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project is the largest post combustion CO₂ capture project in the world. It is located in Thompsons, southern Texas, USA, on a coal fired power plant and commenced commercial operation at the end of December 2016.
This project is a large-scale with the CO₂ utilized for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project conducted by Petra Nova Parish Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation.

The CO₂ Capture Plant itself consists of flue gas pre-treatment (desulfurization), CO₂ absorption and regeneration, CO₂ compression, and utilities. It captures 4,776 tons of CO₂ per day from coal-fired power generation plant, which contains a high concentration of CO₂ in its flue gas, with a CO₂ capture rate(Note1) of 90%.

• 1CO₂ capture rate (%): The ratio of CO₂ captured by our CO₂ Capture Plants to the amount of CO₂ contained in combustion flue gas.
