World Environment Day: How carbon management is engineering environmental change
5 June marks World Environment Day, a global call to action to protect our planet. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) since 1973, this day has grown into the world’s largest platform for environmental awareness and collective action. In 2025, the theme is #BeatPlasticPollution – a powerful push to end plastic waste and […]
China starts operating its first offshore CCUS project
China has begun operating its first offshore carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project at the Enping 15-1 oil platform, located approximately 200 kilometres southwest of Shenzhen, in the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the northern South China Sea. The project is operated by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and marks a significant […]
MIT’s nanotech innovation could cut carbon capture costs by at least 20%
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel nanofiltration membrane that could significantly reduce the cost of carbon capture and conversion processes. This innovative technology addresses a longstanding challenge in carbon capture systems: the trade-off between efficient CO2 capture and its subsequent release. Typically, compounds that capture CO2 effectively struggle to […]
Denmark shortlists 10 companies for CCS projects
The Danish Energy Agency has selected 10 companies from a pool of 16 applicants to compete for $4.5 billion in funding for carbon capture and storage projects. The funding is expected to help reduce Denmark’s annual CO2 emissions by 2.3 million tonnes from 2030. The companies are: Affaidplus ARGO CCS E.ON Energist CaptureCo Fjernvarme Fyn […]
Key insights from IEA’s latest CCUS Projects Database
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has published an update on the global status of CCUS, highlighting the sector’s accelerating development and its increasingly central role in climate mitigation strategies. As of 30 April 2025, global CO2 capture capacity has exceeded 50 million metric tonnes per year. This marks a significant achievement for an industry that […]
Netherlands invests in Aramis CCS project
The Dutch government has announced a €639 million investment in the Aramis CCS project, the country’s largest carbon capture and storage initiative. This investment comes after TotalEnergies and Shell withdrew part of their planned investments in the project. To keep the project and the Netherlands’ climate goals on track, the government has stepped in to […]
UK government and Eni reach financial close for the Liverpool Bay CCS project
Eni has reached financial close with the UK Government’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for the Liverpool Bay CCS project, a cornerstone of the HyNet North West industrial cluster. The initiative aims to significantly reduce industrial carbon emissions in the Liverpool and Manchester regions by 2028. The project includes the development of […]
Earth Day 2025: Harnessing Our Power through CCUS for Our Planet
22 April – It’s Earth Day today! Earth Day 2025 urges the world to take bold action under the theme Our Power, Our Planet. The focus? Uniting around renewable energy and tripling the global generation of clean electricity by 2030. While renewable energy sources are expanding rapidly, they alone are not sufficient to meet global […]
Sleipner Projection Exhibit at the World CCUS Conference
Discover how the world’s largest and longest-operating carbon storage site is advancing our understanding of CO2 behaviour at the 2025 World CCUS Conference! Sleipner East, located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), hosts the world’s largest and longest-operating carbon storage site, with a total of 20 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 injected by Equinor since […]
Successful conclusion of UK’s first CO2 injection test for CCS at the Poseidon project
Perenco, Carbon Catalyst and Harbour Energy have successfully wrapped up the UK’s first offshore CO2 injection test at the Poseidon project in the North Sea. The project involved injecting liquid CO2 into a heavily depleted North Sea gas field, achieving injection rates above 1 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). “This technical feat wasn’t just an […]
