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.
