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 […]
Report from CCUS Norway: Connecting the Dots between CO2 Supply and Storage
Norway knows where its CO2 comes from and where it can be stored. But how do we connect the dots? A new report from CCUS Norway dives into the challenge of transporting CO2 from scattered, small industrial sources to permanent storage sites. CCUS Norway, with support from CLIMIT, has mapped these challenges together with partners […]
TotalEnergies, Mitsui and Nordsøfonden pick up CO2 storage exploration permit in North Sea
The Danish Energy Agency has granted its eighth permit for the exploration and possible storage of CO2 in Denmark to a consortium consisting of TotalEnergies, Mitsui and Nordsøfonden. The permit covers the coastal Inez area, located around 50 kilometres offshore from Thyborøn, and allows the consortium to carry out exploration activities to determine whether the […]
Flue2Chem recognised as leading Net-Zero project
Flue2Chem has been named the UK National Winner of the 2025 Net-Zero Industries Award, announced at COP30 in Brazil, for its work demonstrating the feasibility of a circular carbon supply chain. The judging team recognised the ground-breaking project for its unique industry-to-industry collaborative approach, which assisted the development of new technologies to repurpose CO2 emissions, […]

InCapture Pty Ltd (InCapture), operator of the GHG Assessment Permit G-15-AP, together with Joint Venture Partners SK earthon Australia Pty Ltd (SK earthon) and Carbon CQ Pty Ltd (CarbonCQ), has awarded the Development Concept Engineering phase of the G-15-AP Technical Assessment for Declaration of Storage Formation to Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering […]
UK launches second carbon storage licensing round for 14 sites
The UK North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has on 9 December 2025 opened a carbon storage licensing round offering 14 locations in Scottish and English waters for exploration and appraisal. Application deadline is 24 March 2026, and licences are expected to be awarded in early 2027. The areas fall into two broad categories – depleted […]
TGS and Equinor collaborate to drive digital transformation in CCS operations
TGS has entered a close collaboration with Equinor, advancing the digitalisation of carbon capture and storage operations. This agreement strengthens TGS’ ongoing cooperation with Equinor by integrating cutting-edge technology to optimise field operations. Northern Lights will integrate TGS’ Prediktor Data Gateway into its digital system to enhance management of the full CO2 value chain, from the […]
