Carbon capture and storage
Following the start of injection in August, Northern Lights has issued the first set of certificates documenting that the carbon dioxide captured from the Heidelberg Materials cement factory has been transported and stored permanently in the Aurora reservoir.
As COP30 wrapped up in Brazil, the country finds itself at an inflection point, positioned to deliver South America’s first carbon-dioxide injection by mid-2026.
The 14 available locations are estimated to be able to provide up to 2 gigatonnes of additional carbon-dioxide storage capacity.

Chevron Technology Ventures has joined a consortium in a $16-million investment in a company that provides portable carbon-capture technology. -
A new study will identify the UK’s best sites and produce a roadmap for carbon storage to help the country reach its net zero targets, geologists say.

Carbon storage is perhaps the only viable option for reducing carbon to the levels that many governments have agreed are important, and EOR is the only proven technology that can be made ready in the time and at the scale required to accomplish this reduction worldwide.

The companies will focus on research and development to reduce CO2 emissions and promote the circular economy.
-
A new joint study will test the economic viability of taking CO2 from a cement plant and giving it to an oil company to pump underground.

Rapid scale-up of CCUS projects is critical to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
-
Rapid scale-up of carbon capture, use, and storage is essential for meeting climate and emissions targets while not crippling economic growth. Yet, its potential remains largely untapped because of reasons that include growing pains of immature technologies and uncertainty around public policy.
-
Mosaic’s technology uses chemistry to remove carbon dioxide from emissions sources, and the two firms will be looking at how to scale it for industrial use.
-
Using direct air capture in the near-term is critical if the technology is going to be affordable at a truly large scale in the coming decades. Enhanced oil recovery is the most-economic way to do that.
