Carbon capture and storage
Cella’s approach borrows established EOR practices to mineralize pure‑phase CO2 in basalt rocks while reducing water requirements.
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
An investigative study examines the use of creeping shale formations as a more durable alternative to conventional cement barriers in carbon dioxide storage wells, potentially enabling safer long-term underground carbon storage.
-
A pilot project will explore onboard carbon capture for container ships, and two heavy-hitters are teaming up to find decarbonization paths in the Asia Pacific region. Elsewhere, wind and solar are on track to pass coal in the race to generate electricity. -
The memorandum of understanding aims to improve digital work flows in the emerging carbon capture and storage industry.
-
A surge in permit applications for long-term carbon storage sites reflects where industrially produced carbon dioxide can be harvested, and where the necessary pipelines are.
-
The captured carbon dioxide will be permanently sequestered in the Cameron Parish CO2 Hub to be located offshore Louisiana.
-
Several projects have been scrapped across the US as inflation causes project costs to soar, while projects in Costa Rica and Rotterdam move forward.
-
New York-based BlackRock will put more than half a billion dollars into Occidental's first direct air capture project, which is now 30% completed.
-
In the US, localized opposition and regulatory uncertainty are threatening to kill or severely limit the use of carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) in the fight against climate change.
-
As money pours into the space, questions arise about whether the method of removing carbon from the atmosphere is the best investment.
-
The funding is aimed at helping connect sources of carbon dioxide to locations for geologic storage and conversion through multiple transport modes.
-
The research could improve climate models and inform carbon sequestration.
