White paper by The Carbon Removers on biogenic carbon storage pathways

The Carbon Removers has published earlier this year a white paper titled “Storing What We Remove: Building the Future of Biogenic Carbon Removal” which covers approaches to carbon storage and the role of biogenic CO2 from industrial processes. The paper outlines three carbon storage approaches and discusses their benefit and challenge profiles. Above-ground carbonation, including […]

Western Australia brings carbon storage and transport framework into force under amended legislation

A new regulatory framework enabling carbon capture, transport and permanent storage has come into effect in Western Australia, following the commencement of amendments under the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Act 2024. The changes establish a legal basis for developing a greenhouse gas storage industry, allowing access to geological formations for carbon dioxide storage alongside existing resource […]

California reaches first CO2 injection milestone in CCS rollout

A historic milestone for California as California Resources Corporation (CRC) marks the first injection of CO2 at Carbon TerraVault I (CTV I) at Elk Hills, launching the state’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. The start of injections marks the transition of the project from development into active operation, positioning it as an early […]

Pall to advance carbon capture with advanced flue-gas filtration

Pall Corporation, a Danaher company, has been awarded $1 million CAD from the Government of Alberta through Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) to accelerate development of an additively manufactured flue-gas filtration solution designed to overcome pre-treatment bottlenecks and improve the reliability of carbon capture under real-world conditions.  Addressing flue-gas pre-treatment challenges is critical to scaling carbon […]

Colorado and Wyoming sign agreement on cross-border carbon storage projects

Colorado and Wyoming have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen coordination on permitting for carbon storage projects that may extend across state boundaries. The agreement comes as both states view carbon storage as one of the tools to help meet rising energy demand while reducing emissions. The MoU applies to projects near the […]
