Centre working on a national mission to promote CCUS: NITI Aayog member

The Centre is working on a national mission that will provide financial incentives to promote carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) to help the country achieve its ambitious net-zero goals. The Union power ministry, NITI Aayog and the office of the principal scientific adviser to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) are working on the mission,

OCC technically feasible, but commercial uptake relies on industry collaboration

Onboard carbon capture (OCC) is attracting interest within the shipping industry, providing shipowners with the opportunity to continue operating on conventional fuels while reducing emissions. However, according to DNV’s latest whitepaper “The potential of onboard carbon capture in shipping”, its success depends on collaboration between regulators, policy makers, industry stakeholders, class, and suppliers.  With decarbonization targets

Need to fast track carbon capture to achieve for netzero

To achieve global net zero goals by 2050, the world has to urgently fast track capturing 7 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, according to Wood Mackenzie research. According to their analysis, the current pace of carbon removal is on course to reach only 2 billion tonnes of CO2 by 2050 (base case scenario).

ADNOC to proceed with Habshan carbon capture project

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said it had reached a final investment decision to develop the Habshan carbon capture project. The carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project will have the capacity to capture and permanently store 1.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, ADNOC said in a statement. ADNOC brought forward

Edmonton plant start CCUS system

Heidelberg Materials’ Edmonton cement plant is one key step closer to pouring the foundations of a full-scale carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) system that could help make its operations carbon neutral. Five years in the making, a pilot system will pull 300kg per day of carbon from the plant’s production facility. The new CCUS

Oslo’s decarbonization journey

The fight against climate change has had an active demand; Decarbonization, or reducing carbon emissions from human activity. The increase in global temperatures threatens the world. This is mostly caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Decarbonization is imperative because it is the only way to slow down or reverse this trend,

CCUS projects ramping up across the world

The attention towards Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has been increasing around the globe. But according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the pace of CO₂ capture projects is too little and too slow. According to the agency at least the projects need to be speeded up 30 times more by 2030 to achieve

NITI Aayog proposes policy framework for CCUS

Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), the technology for decarbonising carbon dioxide (CO2) from high polluting sectors such as steel, cement, oil, gas, petrochemicals, chemicals and fertilisers, has a critical role to play for the country to halve CO2 emissions by 2050, says a report on the policy framework of the CCUS prepared by the

TotalEnergies and Adnoc to work together on supplying diesel

TotalEnergies and Adnoc have agreed to work together on supplying UAE diesel to France as part of a new strategic partnership agreement. The agreement also includes jointly evaluating opportunities for new oil and gas developments in the UAE and assessing the possibility of a carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project in the Mideast Gulf

Aker Carbon Capture signs an MoU with Microsoft for scaling carbon capture services

Aker Carbon Capture has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft to pursue joint innovation and explore opportunities to offer services in the Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) market. CCUS is a critical solution to achieve the large carbon reductions and removals needed for the world to reach net zero emissions. New and
