The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the TerraSpark Energy Campus to receive up to $18.5 million in federal funding to support development of a 1.6-gigawatt coal-fired power facility with carbon capture technology in West Virginia. The project is expected to advance engineering and permitting work while supporting energy production, carbon management and job creation.
The Global Cement and Concrete Association and the Global CCS Institute have signed a two-year partnership agreement to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage technologies across the global cement and concrete industry through collaboration on policy, technical knowledge sharing and stakeholder engagement.
Mazda successfully demonstrated onboard CO₂ capture and storage during the Super Taikyu Series 2026, capturing 804 grams of CO₂ over a 24-hour race. The achievement marks a significant step toward practical application of the technology and Mazda’s goal of realizing carbon-negative mobility by 2035.
Holcim has launched CaptureLab, the cement industry's first industrial-scale carbon capture test platform, in Martres-Tolosane, France. The 2,500-square-meter facility uses an open innovation model to allow manufacturers, startups and researchers to test and validate advanced capture technologies in real-world conditions. The platform launches with an initial pilot project in partnership with Air Liquide.
Valmet and Linde announced May 26 a collaboration to deliver electrically driven CO₂ capture solutions to the pulp and paper industry. The partnership pairs Linde's HISORP® CC technology with Valmet's mill integration expertise to help producers reduce emissions without relying on steam or thermal energy.
