Decarbonization
As COP30 wrapped up in Brazil, the country finds itself at an inflection point, positioned to deliver South America’s first CO₂ injection by mid-2026.
The 14 available locations are estimated to be able to provide up to 2 gigatonnes of additional carbon-dioxide storage capacity.
This study ascertains the capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the reuse of existing facilities, specifically regarding a carbon capture and storage project being prepared in South Korea.
