Entergy has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group to explore carbon capture technology for its natural gas power plants. The MOU focuses on evaluating the feasibility of deploying MHI's carbon capture systems at Entergy's existing facilities in the southern United States. This partnership could help reduce emissions from natural gas generation, which makes up a large share of Entergy's power mix. The deal is part of a broader trend where utilities are looking at carbon capture as a way to keep gas plants running while meeting climate targets. MHI has existing carbon capture projects in other regions, but deploying the technology at scale in the US power sector still faces high costs and regulatory uncertainty. The MOU does not include a timeline or financial commitment, so the next step will be a feasibility study before any construction plans emerge.
