Decarbonization
Plans call for the Greensand project to store 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, with the potential to store up to 8 million tonnes annually at full capacity.
Natural Resources Canada has awarded $4 million to Next Hydrogen and CERT Systems to advance clean hydrogen production and low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel technologies in the Greater Toronto Area.
In line with its recently released Global Outlook, the major has begun storing carbon dioxide from Nucor’s iron facility in Convent, Louisiana.

This paper describes the material selection methodology and corrosion studies performed in a CO2 sequestration project to optimize well costs and improve overall project economics without jeopardizing the CO2-injector-well integrity. -
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.

SPE Journal is now accepting papers for a new special issue focused on lower-carbon prospects of petroleum engineering. Submissions are invited about novel research on petroleum engineering aspects of lower-carbon energy production, emphasizing subsurface technologies related to CCUS, geothermal energy, subsurface hydrogen, offshore energy facilities, and other lower-…
