Sonardyne deploys seabed monitoring systems for UK’s Endurance CCS project
Six seabed monitoring systems have been deployed at the Endurance CO2 storage site in the Southern North Sea, about 150 km off the coast of Teesside. The deployment marks the start of baseline environmental and passive seismic monitoring ahead of future carbon injection operations at the UK’s first commercial-scale offshore carbon storage project. Carried out […]
Beyond the Tech: Earning Public Trust and Social Licence for CCUS
While engineering and technological breakthroughs continue to advance carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), its widespread deployment will ultimately depend on more than technological progress. Securing public support, building trust and establishing a social licence to operate are equally essential to the successful delivery of CCUS projects. The panel discussion “Beyond the Tech: Earning Public […]
DNV finds Aker BP and Höegh Evi’s ship-based CO2 direct injection concept feasible
DNV has issued a Statement of Feasibility (SoF) for a concept developed by Aker BP and Höegh Evi to inject CO2 directly from shuttle carriers into subsea wells for permanent storage at the Atlas project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Atlas aims to inject up to 6 million tonnes of CO2 annually in its […]
EU funds new CO2 utilisation project UNCOVER with €7 million
The European Commission has awarded €7 million to UNCOVER, a new Horizon Europe project aimed at bringing CO2 conversion technologies closer to industrial-scale deployment and market uptake. Launched in September 2026, UNCOVER aims to accelerate the market readiness of CO2 utilisation technologies by demonstrating six CO2 conversion technologies (CCTs) and one secondary conversion technology across […]
Webinar addressing integrity of CO2 storage sites in faulted sandstone rocks
Ensuring permanent and secure containment is one of the biggest challenges in subsurface carbon storage. To address the fault leakage in CO2 storage projects, the EAGE Technical Community on Geomechanics is hosting a webinar “Integrity of CO2 storage sites in faulted sandstone rocks”. The webinar will feature insights from Valentin Guillon (IFPEN), Elin Skurtveit (NGI) […]
Global CO2 storage surpasses 421 million tonnes
The 2026 Annual Report of the London Register of Subsurface CO2 Storage, led by Imperial College London researchers Prof Sam Krevor and Dr Xiaowei Gao, tracks reported CO2 storage by operational projects worldwide. This year’s edition covers data from 1996 to 2025, expanding the Register to 70 records across 17 countries on six continents. Here […]
Petronas, TotalEnergies and Mitsui to develop CO2 storage areas offshore Peninsular Malaysia
Petronas, TotalEnergies and Mitsui have signed a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) to develop the CO2 storage areas offshore Peninsular Malaysia, a key component of Malaysia’s Southern Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Hub. The JVA builds from previous agreements signed by the partners on the Carbon Capture and Storage Development Agreement in 2023, where the parties […]
Scaling up CCUS: research insights and lessons from the field
Scaling up carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) requires more than proven technology. It also depends on understanding geological storage capacity, managing risks, developing effective monitoring strategies, and translating technical innovations into practice. Explore these resources for research findings and industry perspectives on the challenges of deploying CCUS at scale. 1. Turning a proven technology […]
EU ACCSESS project concludes with three CO2 capture innovations for industrial decarbonisation
After five years of research, development and industrial testing, the EU-funded ACCSESS project has concluded, delivering three innovations that could help some of Europe’s hardest-to-abate industries reduce their emissions and remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The project focused on accelerating the deployment of CCUS technologies through three key innovations: CO2 capture technology that makes retrofitting […]
AI for CCUS Value Chain: Innovation, Uncertainty and the Role of Expertise
Artificial intelligence is opening up new possibilities across the CCUS value chain, from optimising carbon capture and system integration to enabling new approaches to subsurface modelling and monitoring. The Dedicated Session “AI for the CCUS Value Chain” at the 2026 World CCUS Conference, chaired by Sarah Perez (Heriot-Watt University, UK), explored both the opportunities and […]
