Scientists bridge the ‘valley of death’ in carbon capture technologies

A major obstacle for net zero technologies in combatting climate change is bridging the gap between fundamental research and its application in the real world. This gap, ‘the valley of death’, is common in the field of carbon capture, where novel materials are used to remove CO₂ from flue gases produced by industrial processes, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. A team of scientists from Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, has developed a pioneering platform to bridge this gap.

ADNOC’s West Aquifer CCS project gains DNV certification as new report positions carbon capture at heart of Gulf decarbonisation

ADNOC has secured DNV certification for its United Arab Emirates (UAE) West Aquifer CO₂ storage project at the site endorsement stage. The recognition comes as a new DNV report underscores carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), methane reduction and low-carbon hydrogen as central to decarbonisation of the Gulf region.

China’s low-cost carbon capture puts pressure on Europe’s struggling power sector

The globe is experiencing a stark divide in carbon capture economics, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie. A second analysis finds taxpayes and ratepayers liable for growing CCS costs in the UK. However, a trade association’s annual report paints a more positive picture.
