Carbon capture and storage
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.

The $1-billion carbon capture project in Texas is revived after a 3-year hiatus. -
The Habshan project aims to capture and sequester 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Understanding the subsurface is crucial to the success of carbon capture and storage, and digital solutions are essential for an accurate analysis of the subsurface being considered.

Norwegian energy company Equinor has acquired a 25% stake in the Bayou Bend CCS project from Houston-based Carbonvert.

Thailand's coal mining giant Banpu said it has signed an agreement to launch a third carbon capture and sequestration project in the US.

Decades of experience injecting fluids into the ground has revealed a fundamental truth: No two injection sites are the same. A thorough understanding of site-specific conditions is essential to ensure safe and secure long-term subsurface disposal of carbon dioxide.

The projects are expected to remove more than 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually from the atmosphere.

The region stands to benefit from TotalEnergies’ experience as a partner in Norway’s Northern Lights CCS development to decarbonize industrial operations in northern Europe. The first injection of carbon dioxide at Northern Lights is expected in 2024.

Because the basics of CCS and CCUS are mostly familiar to a large part of the readership, I am choosing to bring to your attention the summary of those articles that are devoted to approaches other than or beyond CCS, even if they have to climb further on the development ladder. These include bio-based approaches, geothermal, and use of hydrogen as a substitute fuel.
