Decarbonization
Jim Clark, a reservoir engineer with more than 4 decades of experience, reflects on the evolution of subsurface engineering and CCS, emphasizing the growing importance of analytics, cross-disciplinary skills, and technical curiosity for the next generation of engineers.
Researchers have developed a low-cost carbon capture technology called PICC that uses only water and pressure to remove nearly all CO2 from industrial exhaust, offering a simpler, cleaner, and more affordable alternative to traditional chemical methods.
Steel and cement are indispensable to modern society and the global energy transition, yet their production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels—making them major contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions and posing a critical challenge to achieving full decarbonization by 2050.
