Description
H2SITE and SNAM are developing a hydrogen separation project using a Pd-alloy membrane separator to extract hydrogen from natural gas mixtures. The technology enables high-purity hydrogen recovery for fuel cells and industrial applications while maintaining gas grid stability. This project supports hydrogen transportation, storage, and decarbonization efforts across Europe.

Canada's first full-scale carbon-neutral cement plant will be built in Edmonton, Alberta, using carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to trap 95% of emissions. The project, backed by a $275 million government deal with Heidelberg, will store one million tonnes of CO2 annually underground. Heidelberg is also building a CCUS-equipped cement plant in Norway, supporting global decarbonization efforts.
At CERAWeek 2025, Saudi Aramco’s CEO clashed with the IEA over peak oil demand and the future of fossil fuels. Aramco is investing heavily in carbon capture and blue hydrogen, but high costs and weak market demand challenge its strategy. The company plans to develop a major CCS hub and produce 11 million tonnes of blue ammonia by 2030.
Homeostasis raised $1.2M to develop technology that converts waste CO2 into graphite, reducing reliance on foreign imports. The company’s electrochemical reactors offer a portable, domestic carbon capture solution for industries. Backed by investors and the Washington Department of Commerce, the startup aims to scale carbon-based material production.
The EPA's new power plant rules aim to cut CO2 emissions but fail to regulate existing natural gas plants, leaving a major loophole. Experts argue that stricter CCS requirements for all fossil fuel plants would achieve greater reductions. Political uncertainty threatens the stability of these regulations, impacting long-term climate goals.
Northwind Midstream is expanding its natural gas treating, gathering, compression, and carbon sequestration infrastructure in Lea County, NM, aiming for 400 MMcf/d capacity by 2026. The Titan Treating Complex now includes amine treating capacity and acid gas sequestration wells to manage high CO2 and H2S levels. This expansion supports sustainable oil and gas production while reducing emissions in the Northern Delaware Basin.
Green Plains has begun building carbon capture compression infrastructure in Nebraska to sequester 800,000 tons of biogenic CO2 annually by late 2025. The company is also refining its Clean Sugar Technology™ while temporarily idling its Iowa facility. This aligns with its strategy to produce low-carbon biofuels and renewable feedstocks for sustainable energy and agriculture.
8 Rivers awarded Wood a pre-FEED contract for its Wyoming carbon capture project with PacifiCorp, set for completion in Q3 2025. The project will use Allam-Fetvedt Cycle (AFC) technology and supercritical CO2 turbines to reduce emissions. 8 Rivers is also exploring biomass-fueled negative emissions power systems as part of its decarbonization efforts.
Skytree and Return Carbon, in partnership with Verified Carbon, are pleased to announce the collaboration with EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) for the development of Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities in Texas. Return Carbon and EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) have executed a Term Sheet for delivering renewable power to large-scale DAC facilities in Texas, which will yield cost-competitive certified carbon removal credits.
