North Sea data access boost to support carbon storage research
The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has enhanced the National Data Repository to make subsurface and technical information far easier to find and use, with notable benefits for carbon capture and storage research and project planning. The upgrade introduces a free text search function that works in a similar way to a web search engine, allowing […]
DNV certifies ADNOC’s West Aquifer CO2 storage site at endorsement stage
DNV has awarded ADNOC a CO2 storage certificate at the site endorsement stage for its West Aquifer project in the UAE. This certification confirms the site’s capability for safe, long-term carbon storage and validates the project’s subsurface characterisation, containment and risk management. This milestone supports ADNOC’s decarbonisation goals and reinforces the UAE’s position in large-scale […]
DNV’s report sees CCUS as central pillar of Gulf oil and gas decarbonisation
DNV has released its “Oil & Gas Decarbonization in the Gulf Region” report, the second instalment in the company’s Energy Transition Outlook 2026 series on the Middle East. The report positions carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) as a cornerstone of the Gulf’s strategy to reduce emissions from oil, gas and emerging low-carbon industries, while […]
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, […]
