Designing the world’s first overground CO₂ pipeline for CCUS hub in Teesside

Two industrial projects in Teesside will see approximately 4mn t/y of CO₂ collected from local emitters and safely transported for storage offshore via a new overground pipeline designed by Costain, reports Project Manager Niku Nobakhti.

Cometh the hour for carbon capture?

Is the CCS/CCUS sector finally about to gather some momentum around the world? Nick Cottam looks at new funding from the US and UK governments and elsewhere, and suggests that there is some acceleration, although from small beginnings.

De-risking green investments

Dr Valentina Dedi, Lead Economist at engineering, procurement and construction contractor KBR, explores how the right mix of supportive policies, financial mechanisms and technological innovation can de-risk investments in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and maximise the potential for green investments in uncertain times, while also addressing the role of oil and gas in the energy transition.

Can carbon capture get ship shape?

The global shipping sector is one of the greatest challenges for reaching net zero. Responsible for more annual emissions than aviation, it cannot be electrified like most road transport. Here, Jayden Rae, Founders’ Associate at Seabound, discusses decarbonisation approaches for the maritime sector, specifically the nascent technology onboard carbon capture (OCC).

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.

Repurposing infrastructure for the energy transition

Costly and time-intensive to build, infrastructure is a key challenge of the energy transition. Repurposing existing infrastructure such as pipelines to transport alternative fuels such as CO₂ or hydrogen can help accelerate the transition while reducing cost and waste. However, repurposing infrastructure is not without its challenges. For both CO₂ and hydrogen, repurposing must be demonstrated not to compromise safety. New Energy Institute (EI) technical guidance aims to assist industry in this regard, write the EI’s Technical Manager, CCUS, Eva Leinwather and Technical Officer, Energy Transition, Chimwemwe Kamwela.

Research update on… public perceptions and just transitions

Industrial decarbonisation is central to the UK’s strategy for achieving net zero and ensuring long-term environmental and economic sustainability. However, technological progress alone is not sufficient. Securing public trust and delivering a just transition – one that is inclusive, equitable and locally grounded – is essential, write Benjamin Sovacool, Professor of Energy Policy at the University of Sussex, and Anna Wilson, Director, Centre for Research and Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning, the University of Glasgow. Below is an edited and abridged synthesis of UK research on the topic commissioned by the UK Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) over the last few years.

On the horizon: Norwegian CCUS vision soon to be made real

Despite cost overruns, Norway’s Northern Lights carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) project is heading towards start-up in 2025, with a first-phase capacity of 1.5mn t/y, rising to 5mn t/y in the second phase. That schedule puts the scheme in the running to be among Europe’s first large-scale CCUS projects to start up, reports New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Research update on... carbon dioxide removal technologies

Technologies such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), decarbonised steelmaking techniques and direct air capture (DAC) are investigated in this review article written by Lindsay-Marie Armstrong, Professor of Decarbonised Systems and Deputy Director of the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton. Below is an edited and abridged synthesis of UK research on the topic commissioned by the UK Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) over the last few years.

CCUS: a silver bullet for a clean energy future?

Some claim carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a promising bridge between fossil fuel dependence and a clean energy future, particularly in hard-to-abate industrial sectors. Nevertheless, Sara Siddeeq contends there are still numerous economic, technological, political and social issues to address.
