Decarbonization
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
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.

Although these look like ordinary tankers, they are unique and run on LNG and recovered oil vapors. -
The company started operating its mobile test facility for carbon capture at Preem’s refinery in Lysekil, Sweden.
-
Total is stepping up its research into carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies by signing a multiyear partnership with UK startup Cambridge Quantum Computing. This partnership aims to develop new quantum algorithms to improve materials for carbon capture.
-
An investment decision this year would sanction Norway’s first CO2 storage project. Phase 1 is expected to be operational in 2024.
-
Scientists have developed a new type of self-assembling silver membrane that could be used to capture carbon dioxide emissions before they have a chance to spread in the atmosphere.
-
Proposal requests were sent to companies to solicit partnerships for the project with ADNOC and ADPower.
-
The company’s departure from the Independent Petroleum Association of America is in line with its climate roadmap.
-
Equinor and partners Shell and Total have completed the drilling of a confirmation well south of the Troll field in the North Sea. The purpose of the well is to determine the suitability of the reservoir for carbon dioxide storage.
-
Salk’s Harnessing Plants Initiative will receive a $12.5 million gift from Hess to advance two projects to enhance plants’ natural ability to store carbon and mitigate the effects of climate change: the CO2 Removal on a Planetary Scale (CRoPS) program and the Coastal Plant Restoration (CPR) program.
-
BP, ENI, Equinor, Shell and Total to develop Net Zero Teesside Project. The project aims to capture 6 mtpa of CO2 emissions.
