Carbon capture and storage
The early enthusiasm for carbon capture and storage (CCS) is showing signs of strain as the limited capital availability and political support become clearer.
The two companies said they will evaluate the possibility of a joint venture to develop a direct air capture hub in South Texas, with XRG considering investing up to $500 million.
The plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway, has captured its first 1,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

KBR announced it has been awarded the Concept and front-end-engineering-and-design contract by Statoil for its ground-breaking Northern Lights project to develop an onshore carbon dioxide storage terminal in Norway. -
A subcommittee of the SPE Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization, and Storage Technical Section has published the Carbon Dioxide Storage Resources Management System document, which establishes technically based capacity and resources evaluation standards.

In a quiet industrial park in suburban Toronto, there is a machine that eats carbon dioxide (CO2) and spits out fuel. A world away, at a world-class research institute in Bangalore, India, engineers have developed a completely different technology to convert CO2 into industrial chemicals.
-
A major oil company is progressing a portfolio of commercial-scale carbon-capture-and-storage (CCS) demonstration projects covering an array of technologies that target applications of relevance to the wider oil and gas industry.
-
In chemical-looping combustion (CLC), oxygen is transferred from an air reactor to a fuel reactor by means of a solid oxygen carrier.
-
The deployment of appropriate CO2-separation technologies for natural gas processing is viewed as an abatement measure toward global CO2-emissions reduction. Selection of the optimum technology requires special attentiion.
