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 […]
Bonaparte CCS project awarded Major Project Status in Australia
The Australian Government has granted Major Project Status to the Bonaparte CCS Project, marking it as the country’s first offshore carbon capture and storage project to achieve this designation. Operated by Inpex subsidiary Inpex Browse E&P (53%), with partners TotalEnergies (26%) and Woodside (21%), the project aims to store over 10 million tonnes of CO2 […]
DNV launches CCUS certification service
DNV has launched a service specification for the verification and certification of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) facilities. DNV-SE-0696 provides a structured methodology to derisk CCUS projects across design, construction, and operation, said DNV. With CCS projected to grow from 41 MtCO2/yr today to 1300 MtCO2/yr in 2050, mitigating 6% of global CO2 emissions […]
UK commits £200 million to Scotland’s Acorn carbon capture project
The UK government has announced a £200 million investment in the Acorn carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in St Fergus, Scotland, marking a major step forward in its strategy to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The investment, unveiled during a government spending review, reinforces the UK’s backing of carbon capture as a […]
DNV signals turning point for global CCS deployment
DNV’s newly released Energy Transition Outlook: CCS to 2050 highlights a pivotal shift in the global deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), forecasting that global investment in the sector will reach $80 billion within the next five years. The report reveals that CCS capture and storage capacity is expected to quadruple by 2030, driven […]

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 […]
