Carbon capture and storage
Regulators pull from experiences in the oil and gas industry to define best stewardship practices for the nascent CCS industry.
This article is the fifth in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this edition, Shantanu Agarwal, founder and CEO of Mati Carbon, discusses how the company’s approach to carbon removal led to winning the Musk Foundation’s XPRIZE in 2025.
EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.

The international consultancy has agreed with Russia’s Rosneft to evaluate the state-owned major’s carbon capture potential. -
Talks between the operators of a trio of competing projects remain active as Canada looks to cut emissions by 40% over the next decade.

A report from the Global CCS Institute says North America’s continued front-runner status in carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment is largely attributable to tax credits, stronger climate commitments, and an anticipated rise in demand for low-carbon energy products.
-
The partnership aims to accelerate offshore CCS adoption with reliable, specialized CCS systems.
-
Backed by Eni and BP, the two projects have been selected by the UK government to kick-start the country's effort to decarbonize industrial emissions.

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?
