Carbon capture and storage
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

Exxon sets its sights on zero, while Thyssenkrupp aims squarely at hydrogen. The wind blows the world over, and the struggle to grab carbon and put it back in the ground continues. Are you trying to stay up to date about developments aimed at energy-transition efforts in our industry? This roundup of news recaps some recent announcements.
-
The announcement means that the megascale carbon capture and storage project now has 14 large industrial players behind it. Still, it remains unclear when the project might get under way.

SPE Canada held its first carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) workshop in May 2021. The workshop in Calgary enabled SPE members, CCUS-focused entrepreneurs, finance providers, and policy makers to share knowledge related to emissions issues, policy, economics, technology development, and geologic considerations.

While the world focuses on carbon dioxide—its problems and its uses—many are looking at how to move it around. Fortunately, a pipeline infrastructure already exists. Unfortunately, the pipelines were made for natural gas and not enough is known about how that infrastructure can handle carbon dioxide.
