Santos reports successful CO2 capture and storage injection trial in Moomba CCS project

Green Car Congress

Ultimately, the Moomba CCS Project has the potential to store up to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Experts, including the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have identified CCS as a critical technology to achieve the world’s climate goals.

Snam and Saipem sign MoU to work together on green hydrogen development and CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

This agreement also involves a collaborative effort to develop feasibility studies in order to find new solutions to transport hydrogen in both liquid and gaseous form, by using and adapting existing infrastructure and networks as well as by shipping it by vessel, and to capture, transport, store or enhance CO 2.

DOE’s Carbon Utilization and Storage Atlas estimates at least 2,400B metric tons of US CO2 storage resource

Green Car Congress

The United States has at least 2,400 billion metric tons of possible carbon dioxide storage resource in saline formations, oil and gas reservoirs, and unmineable coal seams, according to a new US Department of Energy (DOE) publication.

DOE-Sponsored Field Test Demonstrates Viability of Simultaneous CO2 Storage and Enhanced Oil Recovery in Carbonate Reservoirs

Green Car Congress

A field test conducted by a US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners has demonstrated that using carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method dubbed “huff-and-puff” can help assess the carbon sequestration potential of geologic formations while tapping US oil resources.

DOE-supported carbon and capture storage projects hit 10M tonnes of CO2 milestone

Green Car Congress

The RCSP Initiative consists of seven partnerships focused on determining the best regional approaches for storing CO 2 in geologic formations. The CO 2 , in compressed form, is then delivered by pipeline to enhanced oil recovery projects in eastern Texas. The US is taking the lead in showing the world CCS can work.

Study Questions Lifecycle Emissions Benefits of Using CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery as a Method for Carbon Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Using CO 2 injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)—an established commercial practice that currently annually consumes some 50 million metric tons of CO 2 (the majority from natural accumulations)—has also been identified as a method of sequestering CO 2 captured from industrial sources, such as power plants. CO 2 flooding for oil recovery.

Transcript Eliza Strickland: Technology to combat climate change got a big boost this year when the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act , which authorized more than 390 billion for spending on clean energy and climate change. One of the big winners was a technology called carbon capture and storage.
