China launches first offshore carbon injection project in Hainan Province
The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) announced in April that construction has officially started on a carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project at the Dongfang 1-1 gas field in south China’s Hainan Province. The project marks the country’s first demonstration initiative applying offshore carbon injection technology to enhance natural gas production. Once fully […]
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 […]
Exolum and Severnside Carbon to advance CO2 storage hub for industry across England and South Wales
