CCUS

The Saudi Arabian national oil company (NOC), Saudi Aramco, is planning to develop the Aramco Jubail Accelerate Carbon Capture and Storage (ACCS) Phase 1 project, a large CCS hub to be situated at Jubail Industrial City, in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabian government fixed a zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions target for 2060.In 2021, Saudi […]

Carbon dioxide is a key chemical compound of carbon cycle. Made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, it is at the source of life on Earth

Decarbonation refers to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction. It may use mechanical, electrical, physical, chemical technologies

More Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals and Energy Transition projects were awarded on First Half 2022 than in Entire 2021

Carbon Capture and Storage projects have been running for a decade but recently gained a new momentum with a growing interest.

Hydrogen is currently experiencing a increasing interest despite years of usage. This main focus is mostly driven by the so called “Green Hydrogen” promising a clean fuel for the service of the Energy Transition.

Now, in the Energy transition scenario, hydrogen comes as a natural vector of energy for many applications where the electricity is unable to supplant oil & gas.

Carbon Storage is the isolation of gases responsible of the greenhouse effect from the atmosphere.

The goal is to reverse the atmosphere pollution by injecting captured Dioxyde (CO2) underground in reservoirs for long-term storage or to be re-used in a close future.

Once injected underground, the Dioxyde (CO2) can either:

Deteriorate over a long period of time

Participate to Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations (EOR)

Be later transformed in plastics, fuel, concrete

Carbon Capture concept is to seize gases responsible of the greenhouse effect, preventing their increasing presence in our atmosphere.

From all the gases responsible of the global warming, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is of course the main culprit, the reason behind the name of Carbon Capture.

Carbon Capture can occur in two situations, directly from the air, or from industrial processes. It is in this second case Carbon Capture is the most efficient by reducing up to 90% of CO2 emissions from a plant.
