Carbon capture and storage
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
-
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.
-
The hub acreage is located in state waters of Cameron Parish.
-
Fourteen companies scooped up the licenses to sequester carbon in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and saline aquifers offshore UK.
