Carbon capture and storage
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
The spring Unified Agenda provides a snapshot of efforts to advance the president’s plans for fossil fuel exploration and infrastructure.
The initial phase of the carbon capture and storage project has a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year, with a second phase—due online in 2028—expected to bring the storage capacity to 5 million tonnes per year.
