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.

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 ruling means the state will take over permitting and enforcement of EPA regulations pertaining to all classes of wells, including injection wells for carbon dioxide storage.

Petronas CCS Ventures receives Malaysia’s first offshore assessment permit for carbon capture and storage in the Duyong field offshore Peninsular Malaysia.
-
Regulators pull from experiences in the oil and gas industry to define best stewardship practices for the nascent CCS industry.

EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.
-
The publication highlights the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the energy transition and how the oil and gas industry can support the uptake of CCS technologies and presents case studies from Ipieca members.
-
The Global CCS Institute released its Global Status of CCS 2025 report, which states that the number of operating CCS facilities has grown to 77 with a capability of storing 64 mtpa.
