Decarbonization

This work uses a novel pseudosteady-state-based simulation to reduce training-data-generation cost while maintaining high-performance predictions of data-driven proxy models for carbon-sequestration projects.

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 paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.

This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.

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.

The new technology, recently highlighted at OTC, has received a statement of maturity from ABS.

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.

This paper presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project.
