Green light for a new industry
– The Northern Lights project could be the first step towards developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain, needed to reach the global climate goals of the Paris…
Carbon Capture & Storage
Striving to be a world leader
An inaugural CO2CRC CCS Policy Forum is being convened to develop a consensus industry view on a practical CCS policy framework that will stimulate CCS project investment and development in…
Eos CCS well confirms CO2 storage potential
The exploration well 31/5-7 (EOS) in EL 001 encountered a total of 173 metres of water-wet sandstone in the Aurora prospect, with good to very good reservoir quality in the…
The Carbon Capture Conundrum
Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage will continue to need a kick-start, from the chilly depths of the North Sea to the heat of Texas. Ultimately capturing carbon will have to…
A New Era for the Geoscientist
Following on from their very successful and exciting first forum on the energy transition in September 2018 (A New Era in Geoscience), the AAPG are holding a follow-on meeting in…
Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part IV – Challenges and Practical Issues of Carbon Capture & Storage
“If you really could take the CO2, when you burn hydrocarbons – coal, for example – if you could really capture the carbon and sequester it – they call it…
Geothermal in the Future Energy Mix
Geothermal energy is still a marginal player in the energy mix, but geoscientists will be needed to help it play its part in the energy transition. The Energy Transition Estimated…
Growth and Future of CCS in Europe
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be used to reduce emissions, but can oil and gas save the future of CCS in Europe? Overview of geological storage options for CO2.…
Do we need CCS?
Professor Jon Gluyas explains the concept and importance of carbon capture and storage. Dr. Jon Gluyas is Professor in CCS and Geo-Energy at the University of Durham, UK. He explains…
A Bright Future for Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a clean, readily available, and renewable natural resource. Yet the near limitless potential remains largely untapped accounting for only a very small percentage of the total amount…
