HSE & Sustainability
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO2 capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO2 concentrations.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommend continued state and federal funding, data-sharing, and new technologies to mitigate the risks posed by orphan wells.
-
The Pinnington project in North Texas is the company’s largest solar project in the state and brings Repsol’s renewable energy generation capacity in the US to greater than 2 GW.
-
The California Resources Corporation achieved the state’s first carbon dioxide injection into two depleted reservoirs with the potential to store 38 million tonnes.
-
The new technology, recently highlighted at OTC, has received a statement of maturity from ABS.
-
Research by Enervus sees early 2026 permitting activity for the carbon capture and storage wells pointing to a growing approval queue, even while the rate of applications eases.
-
The new guidelines were released prior to reports that enhanced geothermal developer Fervo Energy experienced a blowout in Utah with no reported injuries.
-
This guest editorial from the Center for Injection and Seismicity Research (CISR) at The University of Texas at Austin details the emerging risks posed by injection in Texas and what steps might be taken to mitigate them.
