The South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) deployment project, led by Costain, received phase two funding of around £20m, after successfully completing phase one assessments looking at decarbonization schemes and the infrastructure required for a hydrogen economy in South Wales.

Technology advancements allow manufacturers to design and upgrade scrubbers to capture carbon at the point of exhaust, enabling them to directly tackle maritime CO2 emissions in the near future, research by Finnish technology group Wärtsilä reveals. 

ENGIE and Equinor collaborated to develop joint low-carbon hydrogen activities. The partners will investigate the production and market potential for hydrogen from natural gas whereby the CO2 will be captured and stored permanently offshore.

On 11 February 2021, the revised UK Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) Strategy has come into force, reflecting the energy transition and featuring a range of net zero obligations on the oil and gas industry.

Tesla CEO and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, leading some of the most futuristic companies in the world, announced Thursday a $100 million prize for the development of the best technology to capture CO2 emissions.

Porthos, the initiative for carbon capture and storage in Rotterdam, is expected to store an annual amount of 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 from the industry in empty gas fields beneath the North Sea as from 2024.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions could address about 42% of the world’s total dirty footprint, Norwegian intelligence firm Rystad Energy said in its monthly Energy Transition Report. The release came as the adaptation of renewable energy technologies is accelerating, even during the pandemic, and three contenders – carbon capture and storage (CCS), battery storage and hydrogen – have begun a competitive race to reduce emissions. After analyzing the full scope of global CO2 emissions, Rystad has concluded that CCS solutions could address about 42% of the world’s total dirty footprint, but will likely not reach its full potential, as competing hydrogen and battery societies will also target their fair share of the global pie. The core applications for CCS are within natural gas processing, power generation, hydrogen production (steam methane reforming or SMR), and industrial processes. Today, the vast majority is related to natural gas processing and hydrogen production for use in refining and fertilizer production. Not surprisingly, we find the largest CCS potential in China, India and the US, where power and combustion outweigh process emissions. The power sector, although significant, is less likely to utilize CCS than industry, as renewable energy – given the fast decline in ...

After a vote in the Norwegian parliament, Norway approved the final investment decision for the Northern Lights project, enabling the shipping, reception and sequestration of CO2 in geological strata in the Northern North Sea, approximately 2,600 meters below the seabed.

Port of Rotterdam reported that according to the provisional advice of the Commission for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), several points of the EIA for Porthos are incomplete. 

A new marine emission reduction system, called ''TECO 2030 Future Funnel'', has been created, which is a future funnel that can capture carbon among other emissions.
