Oil and gas lobbyists are fighting to block safety buffer zones from California’s carbon pipeline legislation, Consumer Watchdog warns, as lawmakers prepare to vote on bills that could greenlight dozens of carbon capture projects.
China is studying the conversion of existing oil and gas pipelines to transport CO₂, a move researchers say could cut costs by 25% and accelerate carbon capture projects. Experts highlight both the risks and global examples that show the approach’s potential.
CO₂ shipments arrive by ship from Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant in Brevik, Norway, before being transferred through a 62-mile pipeline and injected into the Aurora reservoir.
Eni has agreed to sell a 49.99% stake in its carbon capture subsidiary to Global Infrastructure Partners, expanding the company’s CCUS platform across the UK, Netherlands, and Italy. The deal strengthens Eni’s decarbonization strategy while bringing in a major infrastructure investor.
Coastal Bend LNG has begun a FEED study with Solvanic to deploy MIT-developed EMAR carbon capture technology at its Texas Gulf Coast export facility, aiming to cut emissions and advance low-carbon LNG production.
Halliburton has secured a contract to support carbon storage monitoring for the Northern Endurance Partnership’s CCS project in northeast England, supplying equipment from its UK manufacturing facility.
Germany's cabinet has approved a bill to fast-track CO2 storage and pipeline infrastructure, allowing offshore and inland carbon storage and enabling gas pipelines to be converted for CO2 transport.
SLB will develop six carbon storage wells for the Northern Endurance Partnership’s East Coast Cluster CCS project in the UK, supporting efforts to reduce industrial carbon emissions starting in 2028.
BKV Corp. will develop a CCS project at an East Texas gas plant using an on-site injection well, expanding its partnership with a leading midstream operator and avoiding the need for a new CO₂ pipeline.
CF Industries has started CO2 capture and storage at its Donaldsonville Complex in Louisiana, working with ExxonMobil to sequester up to 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
With supportive regulations, favorable geology, and new pipeline rulemaking in progress, the state is attracting industrial CCS investment for both near-site sequestration and broader infrastructure development.
Worley’s Peter Cox says Australia must redesign its pipeline infrastructure to meet net-zero goals, warning that repurposing gas pipelines won’t be enough for hydrogen and CO2 transport.
Sumitomo is backing a new CO₂ transport pipeline that will support carbon capture from cement and lime plants producing 40% of the UK’s output.
UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves announced a $39 million investment from the National Wealth Fund to launch a carbon capture project in the Peak District, aiming to cut industrial emissions and create thousands of jobs.
DNV has kicked off a three-year research program called Skylark to generate real-world data on carbon-dioxide pipeline safety—information regulators say they need before approving large-scale carbon-capture networks.
