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.

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.
-
The authors propose a deep-learning-based approach enabling near-real-time CO2-plume visualization and rapid data assimilation incorporating multiple geological realizations for predicting future CO2 plume evolution and area-of-review determination.
-
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
-
This paper highlights the effects of tax credits on business operations for midstream companies in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper introduces a field-deployable, trailer-mounted liquefaction system engineered to convert flared or stranded gas into low-carbon liquefied natural gas.
-
The North Sea Transition Authority said it expects interest in carbon storage to grow after UK’s second licensing round.
-
Propelling a proposed CCS project from the drawing board to first carbon storage requires overcoming several hurdles.
-
The North Sea Transition Authority has advanced the UK’s plans for carbon storage by approving the drilling of a proposed appraisal well off the coast of Teesside.
