Milestone Carbon announced that its Class VI CO2 injection well permit application for a carbon hub in the Delaware Basin of West Texas has been deemed administratively complete by the Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Plan, which is required for permanent geologic storage of CO2, has been filed for the same hub with the EPA.
Heidelberg Materials has started a feasibility study for a decarbonisation project at its Rezzato Mazzano cement plant in the province of Brescia, which could become the first plant in Italy to produce carbon captured net-zero cement and concrete.
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.
TotalEnergies and its partners, Equinor and Shell, announced the completion of the CO2 receiving and storage facilities of Northern Lights Joint-Venture in Norway. The facilities consist in a terminal that will receive CO2 cargos, a 100 km subsea pipeline for CO2 transportation to the offshore storage location, and subsea injection facilities for safe and permanent CO2 storage in a reservoir 2,600 meters below the seabed.
Technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply its latest carbon capture and storage-ready scrubber systems for three container ships owned by German operator Leonhardt & Blumberg. A CCS-Ready solution will assure Leonhardt & Blumberg that it has continued regulatory compliance for SOx emissions today and opens the door to a smooth CCS system adoption in the future.
