Element One Hydrogen & Critical Minerals and Mantle8 have signed a letter of intent to evaluate and develop natural hydrogen exploration opportunities in British Columbia and Alberta using advanced prospect-generation and subsurface imaging technologies.
Considering three different climate pathways, the analysis says holding global temperature rise to 2°C by the end of the century remains possible, though increasingly challenging.
In a 2-1 vote, The Texas Railroad Commission approved the Rose carbon capture and storage project in Southeast Texas, which is planned to store up to 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
-
The Origins hub in Alberta, with plans to begin operations in January 2027, is expected to store up to 1.5 mtpa of carbon dioxide initially, with room to grow. -
The Yara Sluiskil facility in the Netherlands expects to capture and liquefy 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The carbon dioxide is to be transported by Northern Lights vessels to Øygarden, Norway, where it will be stored.

Shell has demonstrated drone-in-a-box operations from its Mars floating production unit, becoming the first operator in the region to secure FAA approval for self-approved offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. JPT Senior Technology Editor Jennifer Pallanich visited Shell Technology Center Houston to see the system in action.
-
The startup company’s Midland Basin demonstration plant, located in the Permian Basin, takes a major step toward commercialization by proving its direct lithium extraction technology can refine battery-grade lithium carbonate from produced water under multiple 24/7 production cycles.
-
This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.
-
This paper presents an experiment investigating dissolution of basaltic primary minerals and conditions favorable for secondary phase formation under deep subsurface storage conditions.
-
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of chemical additives strontium chloride and barium hydroxide in accelerating CO₂ trapping mechanisms, their effect on dissolution of carbonate-bearing minerals, and resulting poroelastic changes in the host rock.
-
With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
-
This study reviews subsurface microbial activity, biomineralization reactions, and mechanisms prevalent for bioremediating wells, stabilizing cements, and increasing trapping during CO₂ injection and storage.
-
Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives.
