LCM controls one of the best sites on the Gulf Coast for the Project. LCM is leasing a 75-acre site from the Port of Lake Charles along the Calcasieu Ship Channel as the main site for its clean energy facility. An additional site near the Port’s new dock facilities will provide room for the Project’s methanol storage tanks.

Important site features include:

• Ready access to interstate natural gas pipelines

• Access to roads, rail, inland waterways, and deep water (Gulf of Mexico)

• Nearby CO2 pipeline infrastructure

• Favorable geology in the surrounding region for CO2 sequestration

• Utility interconnections

• Port docks and infrastructure

• Substantially prepared and ready for construction start

The site and Project design will both mitigate flooding risk during hurricanes. The site is 30 miles north of the Louisiana coastline and protected from severe storm surges.  A steel bulkhead and perimeter drainage have already been installed and the site will be raised above the 100-year flood level prior to construction.  None of the recent hurricane events that have impacted the region have caused flooding above the bulkhead or 100-year flood level. In addition, the control room and critical modular equipment will sit on raised foundations, ensuring they are not subject to flooding.
