LSB Industries has secured full ownership and control of a carbon capture project. This move allows the company to manage the infrastructure and operational side of emissions reduction more directly. By controlling the project, LSB Industries can better integrate carbon capture into its industrial processes, potentially lowering its carbon footprint and positioning itself within the growing carbon credit and sequestration market.

LSB Industries is moving to full control of their carbon capture project. It is a straightforward move to own the assets rather than relying on a partnership.
The real question is how this fits with 45Q tax credits. Owning the project simplifies the accounting for sequestration, but we need to see the actual tonnage targets to know if it moves the needle.
Control is one thing, but the energy penalty for carbon capture is huge. I wonder how much additional power they need to bring online to run this without killing their efficiency.
Exactly. These industrial retrofits always look good on paper until you see the maintenance costs and the actual footprint of the capture equipment on site.
