Webinar comparing depleted fields and saline aquifers for CO2 storage
As carbon capture and storage (CCS) continues to scale globally, selecting the right geological storage site remains one of the most important decisions in any project. To explore this topic, the EAGE Technical Community on Carbon Capture and Storage recently hosted a webinar “CO2 Storage in Depleted Fields versus Saline Aquifers: The Pros and Cons” […]
North Sea data access boost to support carbon storage research
The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has enhanced the National Data Repository to make subsurface and technical information far easier to find and use, with notable benefits for carbon capture and storage research and project planning. The upgrade introduces a free text search function that works in a similar way to a web search engine, allowing […]
Insights from a lecture on ancient rivers and CO2 storage
In an evening lecture hosted by the EAGE London Local Chapter, “From Ancient Rivers to CO2 Storage”, Gary Hampson and Xiang Yan from the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College explored how geological and sedimentological studies can inform carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. Gary Hampson presented “Multiscale Characterization of Sedimentological Heterogeneity […]
DNV certifies ADNOC’s West Aquifer CO2 storage site at endorsement stage
DNV has awarded ADNOC a CO2 storage certificate at the site endorsement stage for its West Aquifer project in the UAE. This certification confirms the site’s capability for safe, long-term carbon storage and validates the project’s subsurface characterisation, containment and risk management. This milestone supports ADNOC’s decarbonisation goals and reinforces the UAE’s position in large-scale […]
DNV’s report sees CCUS as central pillar of Gulf oil and gas decarbonisation
DNV has released its “Oil & Gas Decarbonization in the Gulf Region” report, the second instalment in the company’s Energy Transition Outlook 2026 series on the Middle East. The report positions carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) as a cornerstone of the Gulf’s strategy to reduce emissions from oil, gas and emerging low-carbon industries, while […]
RaboResearch insights: Europe’s CCUS landscape and the path to scale
RaboResearch has released a two-part analysis of CCUS in Europe, providing a snapshot of technological, economic and policy factors shaping the sector. Their research underscores both the promise of CCUS as a climate solution and the significant hurdles still to overcome. 1. CCUS: Critical for hard-to-abate sectors CCUS is essential to decarbonise industrial sectors such […]
Dutch Porthos project marks major milestone as wells are ready for CO2 injection
The Netherlands’ Porthos carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has reached a key technical milestone with four former North Sea gas production wells successfully converted for CO2 injection, bringing the project closer to beginning operations later this year. Located on the P18-A offshore platform about 20 km off the Dutch coast, these wells were originally […]
Baker Hughes and Giammarco Technologies partner on post-combustion carbon capture
Baker Hughes and Giammarco Technologies S.r.l. have signed an exclusive collaboration agreement to advance and commercialise hot potassium carbonate (HPC) technology for post-combustion carbon capture across energy and industrial sectors. The announcement was made at the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy. Giammarco Technologies’ proven HPC process is already widely used across more […]
Can North Sea sandstones unlock the UK’s carbon storage potential?
A new British Geological Survey (BGS) report suggests that sandstone formations beneath the Central North Sea could be critical to expanding the UK’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity. The Central North Sea accounts for around 60% of the UK’s total theoretical carbon storage capacity, yet of the licenced storage capacity currently offered, less than […]
India commits ₹20,000 crore to five-year CCUS push
The Government of India has announced a major fiscal commitment to accelerate carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies by allocating ₹20,000 crore (about US$2.2 billion) over the next five years as part of the Union Budget 2026-27. The move signals one of the largest industry‑level climate investments in the country and aims to help […]
