Carbon capture and storage
The world's largest plant that sucks carbon dioxide directly from the air and deposits it underground is due to start operating on 15 September, the company behind the nascent green technology said.
Researchers form South Dakota Mines are studying microbial acceleration of carbon mineralization with extremophiles found at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
Purchasing carbon offsets is a widespread means of attempting to meet carbon-reduction and net-zero emissions goals across many industries. Also widespread is the increasing scrutiny of the practice. How “real” are the offsets? How are they quantified and verified, and by whom?

This paper examines potential new options for the petroleum sector to contribute to emission reductions and the climate debate. -
Broad consensus is forming on the need for a massive expansion in global carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity. But what are the uncertainties, bottlenecks, and opportunities in the subsurface that await CCS planners?
-
While CCS and CCUS become more ensconced in oil and gas energy-transition strategy, one major project has fallen short of targets. Infrared sensor technology could fill a crucial gap in halting methane leaks. And a geothermal startup gets a big vote of confidence from industry and celebrities.

Occidental Petroleum is planning a carbon-intensive future with revenues from oil expected to be put toward pulling carbon dioxide out of the air.
-
SPE papers and events that covered decarbonization during the past year show that a wide variety of solutions already exist that avoid, reduce, replace, offset, or sequester greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is clear, therefore, that decarbonization technologies will now be as important as 4D seismic, horizontal wells, and hydraulic fracturing.

As with large-scale carbon-capture projects in Europe and in the US, the Canadian oil companies say they will need various forms of government support to help realize the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Texas-based independent exploration and production company Talos Energy and UK-based clean energy group Storegga Geotechnologies have formed an exclusive joint venture to source, evaluate, and develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects along the US Gulf Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Areas under consideration include state and federal waters offshore Texas, L…

Finding creative ways to drive down the CAPEX and discounted OPEX and define a realistic pathway and schedule to full-scale commercial operations is discussed.
-
The facility would be the first of its kind in the US and is planned to be located in West Texas’ Permian Basin.
-
The duo plans to launch projects that will lead to commercialization of applications and products, initially focusing on solid oxide fuel cell technology and lightweight gas-turbine technology.
