An abundance of low-cost natural gas
Texas is the largest natural gas producing state in the US and West Texas in particular has some of the lowest cost natural gas in the world. Natural gas is one of the feedstocks to our clean generation process, which means the lower the cost of the natural gas, the lower our cost to produce electricity.
A shortage of reliable power
Despite being the largest energy producing state in the US as well as the largest producer of wind and solar power generation, there is a growing shortage in reliable power. Net Power’s 24/7 power generation can help West Texas communities get the power they need.
Proven, safe carbon storage
Since the 1970’s, West Texas has been the world’s leading region for carbon sequestration, also known as permanent geologic storage. More than 1 billion tons of carbon has been permanently stored in West Texas’ favorable geology deep underground. By utilizing existing carbon transportation and sequestration infrastructure, we minimize our impact on the environment even further.
