ADNOC starts first fully sequestered CO₂ injection project in carbonate rock

Work on what is claimed will be the world’s first fully sequestered CO₂ injection project in carbonate rock has started in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), reports ADNOC, which has also embarked on the first carbon capture and mineralisation (CCM) project by an energy company in the Middle East. Meanwhile, ADNOC is also part of a joint venture that is planning to develop what is reported to be the UAE’s first methanol facility.

High integrity carbon removal – the Nordic blueprint

Iceland and other Nordic countries are leading the way in developing a range of technologies both to cut emissions of CO₂ and remove the gas from the environment, as Nótt Thorberg, Director of Green by Iceland, argues.

Kick-starting a global low-carbon ammonia industry

As one of the most-used petrochemicals in the world, ammonia offers numerous decarbonisation and energy market opportunities, including the potential to provide 100mn tonnes into the power sector by 2050 in a ‘high-case scenario’, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie. However, without strong policy support, low-carbon ammonia may remain an untapped market.

Major clean energy growth limited the rise in global emissions in 2023, says IEA

Global energy-related CO₂ emissions increased in 2023 as exceptional droughts hit hydropower. However, the rise was lower than in 2022 even as total energy demand growth accelerated, thanks to the expansion of technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, nuclear and electric vehicles (EVs), according to the latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Norway leads the way with emissions intensity and electrification projects

Norway has one of the lowest offshore CO₂ emissions intensity values in the world. Recent analysis by Westwood Global Energy Group predicts a 2022 emissions intensity of 7 kgCO₂/boe, a figure that is expected to continue to decline as more platforms are electrified.

More ambitious climate action needed from the fossil fuel industry

The climate crisis requires a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use over the next 30 years, says Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund. What’s more, there is a crucial need for the oil and gas sector to reduce methane emissions as well as CO₂.

China could miss its key climate commitments

China is badly off track to meet climate targets the country set for 2025, as a result of an increase in coal use and investment in coal power, and a rise in oil consumption, which led to a 5.2% increase in energy sector CO₂ emissions in 2023, suggests new analysis.
