The momentum of the energy transition must be maintained without compromising energy security, and that includes affordability, as well as universal access to reliable energy. But “we can only do this through decarbonisation, not defossilisation,” said Santos chief executive Kevin Gallagher.
ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) and Pertamina, the state-owned energy company of Indonesia, have signed a joint study agreement to assess the potential for large-scale implementation of lower-emissions technologies, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), as well as hydrogen production.
Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Pertamina will together explore potential business opportunities in geothermal, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), as well as hydrogen, in Indonesia, after signing an agreement in Washington.
Japanese oil refiner Eneos Holdings and utility J-Power have teamed up to launch the country's first permanent carbon capture and storage (CCS) project by the end of this decade. Significantly, if CCS is successful in Japan, it would bode well for global liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand, as the world’s second biggest importer could better balance its net zero ambitions.
Widespread adoption of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies in Southeast Asia remains highly unlikely, according to the latest findings from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
Japanese companies Inpex and JGC are teaming up with Thai upstream player PTT Exploration & Production (PTTEP) to explore potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) developments in Thailand. The move follows PTTEP’s recent announcement that it has set a 2050 carbon neutral target.
Japan’s Mitsui and Indonesian state-backed energy company Pertamina will jointly study carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) commercialisation options in Indonesia.
Opportunities abound for mergers and acquisitions across energy-hungry Asia Pacific nations, as majors, such as Chevron, Shell, and ExxonMobil, seek to exit or rationalise their upstream portfolios.
Petronas has signed a memorandum of understanding with Schlumberger to jointly explore opportunities in the areas of sustainability, digital and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, as well as research and development projects.
India’s Reliance New Energy will acquire all the assets of battery maker Lithium Werks for $61 million
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) believes the start of work on the Santos-led Barossa liquefied natural gas (LNG) development offshore northern Australia should be suspended as the associated carbon capture and storage (CCS) scheme, proposed by the operator, remains problematic and will not cut emissions. Otherwise the CCS project should be viewed as nothing more than ‘green washing’ and a diversion while construction continues, said IEEFA.
East Timor-based independent think-tank La'o Hamutuk has hit out at Santos’ plans to store carbon from its proposed Barossa liquefied natural gas (LNG) development at the Bayu Undan field in the Timor Sea by filing a submission to the Northern Territory (NT) Environmental Protection Authority (NTEPA).
Chevron’s (NYSE:CVX) flagship carbon capture and storage (CCS) scheme, designed to catch emissions at the Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) project offshore Australia, has operated at just over half its expected capacity in the previous financial year, according to the latest project update.
Japan’s Inpex (TYO:1605) has confirmed it aims to lead an effort to build one of the world’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities near Darwin, Australia, as it strives to hit its Net Zero 2050 pledge and decarbonise its business.
Japanese engineering company Chiyoda and Indonesian national oil company Pertamina will jointly study the development and application of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU).
Petronas and Japan Petroleum Exploration (JAPEX) will collaborate on carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities in Malaysia as the nation aims to become a CCS hub for Southeast Asia. As part of a separate agreement, Petronas is also exploring and studying CCS solutions with Shell (LSE:RDSA).
Is there a space for carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a service? Recently formed Lapis Energy is betting there is, eyeing opportunities in the US, UK, Europe and South East Asia.
Malaysian state energy company Petronas and South Korea’s POSCO International will jointly explore opportunities in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, as well as carbon dioxide (CO2) storage solutions in Malaysia. Significantly, Petronas wants to establish Malaysia as the leading hub for CCS in the Asia region.
US-based Baker Hughes (NASDAQ:BKR) will supply Santos’ (ASX:STO) Moomba carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Australia with turbo machinery equipment.
Australian liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer Woodside (ASX:WPL) said today that it is targeting $5 billion worth of investment in new energy products and lower-carbon services by 2030.
Petronas’ giant Kasawari carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, which the company describes as one of the largest in the world, is progressing towards a final investment approval in 2022 after the Malaysian energy company invited bids for front-end engineering and design (FEED) contracts.
Indonesian independent Medco Energi is carrying out a study to assess the potential of applying carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology at its operating assets.
BP (LON: BP) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with upstream regulator SKK Migas for Indonesia’s first enhanced gas recovery (EGR) and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) development. The EGR and CCUS scheme will be implemented at BP’s Tangguh liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
Fast-moving plans for a Santos-led carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at the Bayu Undan field offshore East Timor, that would see the nation import Australia’s waste, have been described as “carbon colonialism” by independent thinktank La'o Hamutuk.
State-backed Malaysian energy company Petronas has signed a pact with Baker Hughes to collaborate on technological developments supporting the energy transition.
