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.

The plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway, has captured its first 1,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. -
The vessel is expected to be delivered by the end of the year, while the project's new port in Esjberg is on target for completion this autumn.
-
The agreement calls for approximately 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide to be securely stored per year at 1PointFive’s Pelican Sequestration Hub in Louisiana.

The 2025 update to SPE’s CO₂ Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) is now available. Following a 2-year review, the updated framework—endorsed by six professional societies—builds on the original 2017 system to support consistent classification, evaluation, and reporting of CO₂ storage resources. A key change in the 2025 SRMS Update is the inclusion of CO₂ EOR as…

The UK North Sea Transition Authority has awarded the required permits for the East Irish Sea project, and the project has reached financial close. The carbon capture and storage project is expected to receive its first carbon dioxide in 2028.

The full potential of data can only be realized when it is viewed not in isolation but as part of the dynamic triad of hydrocarbons, the data, and the people who interpret it and act on it.

The test marks a milestone in the Poseidon CCS project, which aims to store carbon dioxide in the depleted gas reservoir below the Leman development in the southern North Sea.
-
The storage permits, the first of their kind, allow the Stratos facility to move forward with plans to capture and store up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
-
The first phase of the Norwegian project is expected to receive its first carbon dioxide this year, with the second phase slated to start operations in late 2028.

This paper introduces a novel optimization framework to address CO2 injection strategies under geomechanical risks using a Fourier neural operator-based deep-learning model.
