Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has the potential to lead to net-zero emissions, especially in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it is released into the atmosphere. The technology can capture up to 90% of CO2 released by burning fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes such as cement production.

CO2 can be captured in a variety of ways. The three most significant are post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxyfuel. Once caught, CO2 is compressed into a liquid and transported by pipeline, ship, or road tanker. CO2 will then be pumped underground, usually to depths of one kilometre or more, to be deposited in exhausted oil and gas wells, coalbeds, or deep freshwater aquifers where the geology allows.

CO2 may also be used to manufacture commercially viable materials. Which is generally referred to as carbon capture, transportation, and use (CCSU). The most well-known method of CO2 use is enhanced oil recovery (EOR), which involves injecting CO2 into oil and gas reservoirs to maximise extraction.

CCS is currently the only system capable of assisting in the reduction of pollution from massive manufacturing facilities. It has the potential to be a game changer in the fight against global climate change. CCS has the ability to produce ‘negative emissions,' reducing CO2 from the environment, when combined with bioenergy technology for power generation (so-called BECCS – bioenergy with carbon capture and storage).

Aside from the evolution of existing technologies, there are certain innovative breakthroughs that potentially enable step improvements in cost-effectiveness over the medium to long term, such as raising capture efficiency to 99 percent, lowering the energy consumption of CCS equipment, or lowering installation costs.

What is our Role?

1) Obtaining licences and permits from gas and oil authorities within the jurisdictions of the countries in which we collaborate.

2) Assisting the government and other foreign communities in identifying existing facilities that have the capacity to be reused for carbon capture and recycling or hydrogen programmes.

3) Engaging with CSS project developers

4) Advising and directing project developers and applicants
