The Gulf Coast of the United States hosts diverse power generation, refining, and petrochemical processing facilities, resulting in the nation's largest volumetric concentration of industrial CO₂ emissions, rivaled only by the Ohio River Valley. These emissions sources are concentrated in specific industrial clusters that allow combining emissions streams to achieve economies of scale. The region is currently undergoing globally significant industrial expansion and investment as a result of abundant and inexpensive regional unconventional natural gas availability, and is a growing exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Opportunities to integrate CO₂ emission management within the diverse energy chains in the region are volumetrically significant and include both concentrated and dilute sources. Significant examples of capture, transport, and storage exist. Offshore storage is particularly attractive, as it provides simplified land leasing models (single governmental land owner), proven reservoir quality, and presents fewer risks to both protected groundwater and populated areas. Projects can now take advantage of recently expanded opportunities under section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Service tax code. The region continues to evolve as an active carbon-handling hub, and is uniquely suited to justify additional investment in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies via a large-scale integrated project development. Continued development of integrated projects will allow the region to continue to grow economically within its strong fossil-fuel handling competence focus while advancing low-carbon energy technologies that maintain globally competitiveness. © 2021 The Authors.

墨西哥湾沿岸的碳捕获、利用和封存中心开发

美国墨西哥湾沿岸拥有各种发电、炼油和石化加工设施，导致美国工业 CO ₂排放的体积浓度最高，仅次于俄亥俄河谷。这些排放源集中在特定的产业集群中，这些产业集群允许合并排放流以实现规模经济。由于丰富且廉价的区域非常规天然气供应，该地区目前正在进行全球重大的工业扩张和投资，并且是一个不断增长的液化天然气 (LNG) 出口国。整合 CO _{2 的}机会该区域不同能源链内的排放管理在体积上具有重要意义，包括集中和稀释来源。存在捕获、运输和储存的重要例子。海上储存特别有吸引力，因为它提供了简化的土地租赁模型（单一政府土地所有者）、经过验证的水库质量，并且对受保护的地下水和人口稠密地区的风险较小。根据美国国税局税法第 45Q 节，项目现在可以利用最近扩大的机会。该地区继续发展成为一个活跃的碳处理中心，并且非常适合通过大型综合项目开发证明对碳捕获、利用和储存 (CCUS) 技术进行额外投资的合理性。综合项目的持续发展将使该地区在其强大的化石燃料处理能力重点范围内继续经济增长，同时推进保持全球竞争力的低碳能源技术。© 2021 作者。温室气体：科学与技术由化学工业协会和约翰威利父子公司出版。
