Major CCS project to advance decarbonisation efforts across Texas Gulf Coast

BP and Linde have unveiled plans to advance a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas, US, that will enable low carbon hydrogen production at Linde’s existing facilities. The development will also support the storage of CO₂ captured from other industrial facilities – paving the way for large-scale decarbonisation of the Texas Gulf Coast industrial corridor.

UK government announces new £102mn funding for nuclear and hydrogen technologies

The UK government has further backed the future of nuclear power by investing £77mn to support nuclear fuel production and next generation advanced nuclear reactors in the UK. It has also unveiled a further £25mn of funding for innovative technologies that could generate hydrogen from biomass and waste and is seeking views on proposals to make domestic gas boilers hydrogen-ready from 2026. However, a Commons Committee warns that hydrogen is not a panacea to meeting net zero.

A critical crossroad: Carbon removal market and policy landscape

The key issue for finding a balance between carbon removal sources and sinks in the move towards net zero will be to establish an effective carbon removal market and policy landscape, explains Antti Vihavainen, CEO of carbon crediting platform Puro.earth.

Decarbonisation throughout the value chain

Only a combination of decarbonisation approaches applied across the value chain will help industries and countries reach ambitious net zero targets, writes Chris Poynter, President at ABB System Drives. Electrification and improved energy efficiency will be the key approaches.

How to overcome the technical challenges of carbon capture projects

Striking the right balance between providing secure, affordable and increasingly lower-carbon energy will be key to building a more sustainable future. There is a genuine desire to decarbonise the energy system with ‘maximum energy, minimal emissions’. What is the role of carbon capture in delivering a low-carbon future and how are the technical challenges being addressed, asks Ken Ede, Head of Decarbonisation Middle East for leading consulting and engineering group Wood.

Medical and physiological effects of CO₂ exposure: implications for CCUS deployment

While low ambient concentrations of CO₂ are harmless, acute exposure in enclosed environments can lead to symptoms ranging from headache and dizziness to loss of consciousness and death. Understanding these physiological mechanisms is essential for developing safety thresholds and exposure limits that underpin regulatory standards and emergency response planning, with particular implications for carbon capture use and storage (CCUS) development. Charlie Bush reports.

'No place for carbon removals in emissions reduction policies'

Reducing CO₂ must remain the priority for policymakers; removing it from the atmosphere and permanently storing it can only complement decarbonisation, not replace it. Policy expert with climate advocacy organisation Carbon Market Watch Fabiola De Simone explains.

Debt and equity bankability for renewable energy project financing

The Energy Industries Council’s March 2026 Bankable Energies conference gathered financiers and borrowers to map out how to bridge the gap between net zero targets and the capital deployment required to reach them. With global investment in the energy transition hitting a record $2.3tn in 2025, the day’s conversation focused on risk mitigation and structured finance. Kristy Jooste AMEI, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute, was there.
