Lloyd’s Register conducted a report for the UK’s Oil and gas Authority (OGA) in efforts to explore the country’s upstream opportunities to cut its GHG emissions, amid its announcement in becoming the first major economy to pass a net zero law for greenhouse gas emissions.

In line its "Technology Outlook 2030" report, DNV GL focuses on the mitigation of CO2 emissions and how the industries can deal with, looking for ways to recycle CO2, capture the emissions and store them, proposing the launch of negative emissions technologies to tackle the issue. 

A group of shipping partners, including NYK, Sovcomflot, Knutsen OAS and Ardmore, ship builders, including DSME, and the mining company Vale, are cooperating with Danish Maritime Development Centre to develop an onboard carbon capture and storage solution, in a project called decarbonICE. 

Equinor signed Memoranda of Understanding with seven European companies to develop value chains in carbon capture and storage. Equinor is collaborating with Shell and Total to find out the possibilities for developing a CO2 storage on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). 

Following investigation on storage of CO2 in depleted offshore gas fields under the North Sea earlier this year, the Port of Rotterdam-led Porthos project now aims to close cooperation agreements (Joint Development Agreements, JDA) with interested companies.

As part of their efforts to advance innovation and development on the field of CO2 storage, Norwegian oil company Equinor and its partners will disclose datasets from the Sleipner field; the world's first offshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plant.
