Leucadia coke gasification plant to get US funding

摘要

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has finalized plans to provide $261.4mn to Leucadia Energy’s Lake Charles, Louisiana, carbon capture and sequestration project, which includes a petroleum coke-gasification plant. DOE will provide the money through a cost-sharing arrangement, which was first announced in October 2009 as part of the economic stimulus package. DOE announced approval of the final plan on 30 December.
