Canada expands carbon capture incentives to include enhanced oil recovery
Canada has expanded its carbon capture incentive framework to include projects that use captured carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), marking a change in how the federal tax credit applies to oil-linked storage. The change, effective 28 April 2026 under the Spring Economic Update, delivers on a prior agreement between the federal government and […]
DNV to certify UK’s Northern Endurance Partnership CO2 transport network
DNV has been appointed as the independent certifier for the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), the CO2 transport and storage project underpinning the UK’s East Coast Cluster. Developed by energy companies bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies, the project will transport captured CO2 from industrial emitters in Teesside through an integrated onshore and offshore pipeline system for permanent […]

CCUS Hub Study identifies five potential Asia-Pacific hubs
The CCUS Hub Study is the first independent, industry-led assessment in Asia examining the technical and commercial pathways for CCUS in hard-to-abate sectors across the region. It focuses on how large-scale CCUS infrastructure could enable either reuse or long-term storage of captured CO2. First phase results Phase 1 of the study has been completed, screening […]
IPCC authors begin work on carbon removal methodology report
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has convened more than 150 international experts in Rome, Italy, from 14 to 16 April to begin work on the 2027 Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CDRT-CCUS). The report will provide comprehensive scientific guidance on a wide range of carbon […]

We are delighted to share that our 2026 conference chair Raffaella Ocone was recently featured in Energy Voice. In this feature, she highlights: the importance of bringing together global expertise in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) the need for stronger collaboration across disciplines such as chemical engineering, geoscience and industry to accelerate deployment at […]
Insights from S&P Global on CCUS in 2026
Recent analysis from S&P Global highlights a turning point for CCUS. The sector is moving beyond early-stage ambition into a more mature, execution-focused phase as the energy transition evolves. Key insights: Market is maturing: Global carbon capture capacity has reached around 73 million metric tonnes per year, with nearly 1,300 projects in development, signaling strong […]
New UK regulations strengthen safety framework for CCUS and offshore hydrogen
The UK’s new regulations for CCUS and offshore hydrogen production came into force on 6 April 2026. The changes expand existing offshore safety frameworks and provide clearer rules for these emerging low-carbon sectors. The measures are set out in two legal instruments: the Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage and Offshore Hydrogen Production (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations […]
Norway and Belgium sign agreement to enable cross-border CO2 transport
Norway and Belgium have signed a bilateral agreement to facilitate infrastructure for transporting CO2 by pipeline from Belgium to the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The agreement reflects both countries’ long-term commitment to carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a key component of Europe’s climate strategy. The agreement was signed on 26 March 2025 at the Petroleum […]
