Can we achieve gigatonne scale CO2 storage by mid-century?

Can we achieve gigatonne scale CO2 storage by mid-century?

Yuting Zhang, Christopher Jackson and Samuel Krevor, researchers from Imperial College London, explore the feasibility of achieving gigatonne-scale CO2 storage by mid-century. In their paper The feasibility of reaching gigatonne scale CO2 storage by mid-century, published in Nature Communications (2024), they apply a logistics model to assess global CO2 storage potential, proposing a feasible benchmark for […]

Geoenergy introduces new Thematic Collection: CCS in the Asia–Pacific region

CCS

Momentum is building in the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region for increased decarbonisation spurred by government policy development and cross-border industrial partnerships. Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia for example are progressing the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Hub concept where carbon dioxide can be imported from countries with less suitable geology for CCS such as Japan, Korea and […]

Accelerating the energy transition using emerging geoscience skills

First Break, Volume 42, Issue 10, October 2024

How can we speed up the energy transition as part of our response to the climate change challenge? The essential tools for enabling rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are well known, but implementing these vectors of decarbonisation is challenging, partly for economic reasons and partly due to social resistance. Philip Ringrose (Norwegian University of […]
