Decarbonization
Cella’s approach borrows established EOR practices to mineralize pure‑phase CO2 in basalt rocks while reducing water requirements.
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
An investigative study examines the use of creeping shale formations as a more durable alternative to conventional cement barriers in carbon dioxide storage wells, potentially enabling safer long-term underground carbon storage.

Australia’s H2Perth blue and green hybrid hydrogen project is expected to benefit from carbon credits from the offshore Bonaparte carbon storage facility where Inpex and TotalEnergies are drilling appraisal wells together with Woodside.
-
The carbon capture and storage system is expected to transport and store up to 680,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in Louisiana.
-
This study recommends favoring the combustion of ammonia over hydrogen for the purpose of reducing CO₂ and nitrogen emissions.
-
This study explores the feasibility of implementing in-situ carbon dioxide recycling for sequestration as a fit-for-purpose developmental strategy for a Malaysian gas field characterized by an initial carbon-dioxide content of approximately 60%.
-
The supermajor’s Energy Outlook 2025 suggests geopolitical fragmentation could tilt the balance of the energy trilemma toward energy security and away from sustainability.
-
Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project aims to increase electricity generation by capturing flare gas collected from three southern oil fields. A desalination project will use treated seawater to maintain well pressures.
