Decarbonization
Regulators pull from experiences in the oil and gas industry to define best stewardship practices for the nascent CCS industry.
This article is the fifth in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this edition, Shantanu Agarwal, founder and CEO of Mati Carbon, discusses how the company’s approach to carbon removal led to winning the Musk Foundation’s XPRIZE in 2025.
EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.
-
This study compares, in a carbon capture and storage (CCS) context, the economics of a traditional business model vs. an alternative business model (a regional CCS hub separately managed by a special-purpose vehicle). -
A surge in permit applications for long-term carbon storage sites reflects where industrially produced carbon dioxide can be harvested, and where the necessary pipelines are.
-
The captured carbon dioxide will be permanently sequestered in the Cameron Parish CO2 Hub to be located offshore Louisiana.
-
Paving the way for collaboration, the fourth edition of the SPE Symposium on CCUS management witnessed groundbreaking discussions on innovative strategies and initiatives that accelerate the deployment of CCS and CCUS projects in the region.
-
Several projects have been scrapped across the US as inflation causes project costs to soar, while projects in Costa Rica and Rotterdam move forward.
-
New York-based BlackRock will put more than half a billion dollars into Occidental's first direct air capture project, which is now 30% completed.
-
In the US, localized opposition and regulatory uncertainty are threatening to kill or severely limit the use of carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) in the fight against climate change.
-
In this paper, the authors evaluate the simultaneous optimization of CO2 storage and oil recovery using multiple injection strategies.
-
As money pours into the space, questions arise about whether the method of removing carbon from the atmosphere is the best investment.
-
An increased focus on energy security and the effects of progressive policies and gridlock in decarbonization technology are a few of the key takeaways in DNV’s 2023 Energy Transition Outlook.
