Decarbonization
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.

Thailand’s national petroleum exploration and production company plans to team with Japanese oil and gas company INPEX to study the feasibility of a carbon storage hub in the northern Gulf of Thailand. -
The US Environmental Protection Agency has signed a final rule granting the state’s request for primary responsibility for the permitting, compliance, and enforcement of carbon sequestration wells under the Underground Injection Control Program.
-
Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a method of refining "liquid gold" for valuable critical minerals using what many consider traditional waste products: produced water and carbon dioxide.
-
The authors of this paper describe a suite of technologies that enables enhanced well robustness and performance modeling and monitoring of carbon storage facilities.

With the advancement of a legal framework for carbon capture and storage, Brazil is building CCS momentum. This article aims to shed light on what led to this momentum and what may come next.
-
The Gulf region can leverage its energy history, infrastructure, capacity, and expertise to lead the energy transition.
-
The project aims to store 5 million tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to a third of the total CO2 emissions from Dutch domestic vehicles in 1 year.
-
A pilot project will explore onboard carbon capture for container ships, and two heavy-hitters are teaming up to find decarbonization paths in the Asia Pacific region. Elsewhere, wind and solar are on track to pass coal in the race to generate electricity.
-
The memorandum of understanding aims to improve digital work flows in the emerging carbon capture and storage industry.
-
For today’s oil and gas companies, digital twins offer untapped potential to decarbonize the leading source of their emissions—field production.
