Foxconn and Pace CCS have launched a partnership to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology by combining Foxconn’s precision manufacturing expertise with Pace CCS’s specialized design knowledge. The collaboration includes a new laboratory to test a chemical scavenger, already used in other industries, aimed at preventing corrosive reactions in CO₂ streams that can damage CCS infrastructure. Carbon capture is critical to achieving net-zero emissions, with global demand estimated at eight billion metric tons of CO₂ annually, requiring trillions of dollars in investment. Corrosion, erosion, and clogging caused by chemical reactions in CO₂ streams, including the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids, remain key technical challenges for the sector. Matthew Healey, managing director of Pace CCS, said the solution could turn a major technical challenge into a manageable operational expense, accelerating CCS deployment worldwide. Foxconn Chief Environment Officer Ron R. T. Horng added that the collaboration demonstrates how cross-industry partnerships can drive meaningful progress against climate change.
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources has launched a statewide CCUS information hub designed to support industry, researchers and the public with centralized geological, technical and regulatory data. The online platform consolidates decades of information to inform carbon capture, utilization and storage project development across Alaska.
Bison Low Carbon Ventures Inc. has completed commissioning operations for the Phase 1 facility at its Meadowbrook Carbon Storage Hub near Legal, Alberta. The project is the first carbon capture and storage hub in Alberta to enter service and is licensed for up to 500 kilotonnes of CO₂ injection annually.
Mantel Capture has launched a front-end engineering design study for a commercial-scale carbon capture project with a Canadian oil and gas producer. The project will integrate Mantel’s molten borate technology into existing SAGD operations and is designed to capture approximately 60,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually.
Vallourec and Geostock have signed a memorandum of understanding to accelerate development of large-scale underground storage infrastructure for the energy transition. The partnership focuses on hydrogen storage and carbon capture, utilization and storage applications.
