The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) issued a Notice of Intent to fund up to $1.3 billion to catalyze investments in transformative carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies.
Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced the launch of CarbonEdge™, powered by Cordant™, the first end-to-end, risk-based digital platform for CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) operations that provides comprehensive support, regulatory reporting, and operational risk management.
Oxylus Energy, developer of a novel carbon utilization technology for the production of e-fuels, announced the close of its $4.5 million Series Seed investment co-led by Toyota Ventures and Azolla Ventures with participation from Earth Foundry and Connecticut Innovations. Oxylus' solution is the first low-temperature and low-pressure conversion of carbon dioxide to green methanol, a liquid fuel.
The Vietnam Petroleum Institute has commissioned Black & Veatch to study carbon-cutting technologies at three coal-fired power plants owned by Vietnam Oil and Gas Group. The study’s objective is to investigate the current carbon capture technology landscape and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of applying that technology to the flue gas from the coal-fired power plants.
Enhancing Indonesia’s CCUS and CCS capabilities, BP Berau Ltd (bp) – as the operator of TangguhProduction Sharing Contract -- and Bandung Institute of Technology signed a Cooperation Agreement to advance research and development of carbon capture, utilization and storage.
