Carbon capture and storage
A new Xodus report finds that scaling CCS across Europe will require significant investment in dedicated CO2 shipping, port infrastructure, and hybrid transport systems—projecting a fleet of about 65 vessels, 33 ports, and rapidly increasing emissions transport by 2050.
The California Resources Corporation achieved the state’s first carbon dioxide injection into two depleted reservoirs with the potential to store 38 million tonnes.
Research by Enervus sees early 2026 permitting activity for the carbon capture and storage wells pointing to a growing approval queue, even while the rate of applications eases.

The oil major said it will now work with Global Thermostat on technology that would remove carbon dioxide directly from the air.
-
Phase 1 involved a feasibility study for a facility capable of capturing 750,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The next phase will explore building a facility capable of more than twice that amount.

Two technologies that may play a part in the decarbonization of the UK energy business are carbon capture, use, and storage and the use of hydrogen for energy transportation and storage. This approach builds on the UK’s gas-network infrastructure, which can be repurposed to avoid becoming stranded.
