Banpu, a Thai energy tycoon, announced the Final Investment Decision (FID)* on the first CCUS project, Barnett Zero, in July 2022 [1]. Banpu began drilling gas storage wells for the Barnett Zero project, aiming to start storing carbon dioxide by December this year. It is expected that Barnett Zero will be one of the first permanent commercial CCUS projects. In the U.S., the project will separate carbon dioxide from natural gas production from pipelines operated by EnLink [2]. EnLink will transport the natural gas produced by BKV in the Barnett to its natural gas processing plant in Bridgeport, Texas, where the CO2 waste stream will be captured and transported to a BKV facility, compressed, and then sequestered via BKV’s nearby underground injection control well. link 1. https://lnkd.in/gKD6Mfka 2. https://lnkd.in/gmiJCm-b

nZero Group is delighted to announce the award of the UK’s first dynamic propane reduction project, set to be implemented at an operational biomethane-to-grid injection point within a regulated IP gas network.   Expected to become operational in 2025, the project aims to reduce CO2e emissions by 0.4 Tonnes pa and decrease the producer’s (DFO) operational expenditure (OPEX), likely yielding annual savings of approximately £200,000. This reduction will deliver immediate returns on investment and significantly increasing profitability over the longer term.   The reduction in propane will be achieved by dynamically adjusting the volume needed to meet target calorific value (CV). By blending the biomethane with natural gas from the pipeline, the resulting fully blended gas is analysed to confirm the distribution network’s (DN) daily target CV is met, with little to no additional propane, thereby reducing or even eliminating propane consumption.   Additionally, this project complements an ongoing biomethane initiative within the SGN network for an independent Scottish distiller, which supplies 3,500 standard cubic meters per hour (scm/h) of green gas. Since commissioning, approximately 3 million standard cubic meters of propane have been injected into the biomethane plant to comply with the current billing regime, incurring costs of around £2.3 million. Once operational with nZero's Ofgem-approved GasPT technology, this OPEX is also expected to decrease significantly.   Both projects provide significant benefits for the GDN, including a higher proportion of green gas entering the network and supporting the UK’s progress toward net-zero goals.   #makinggreengasgreener #biomethane #decarbonisation #RenewableGas #NetZero #EnergyInnovation

Trigon Pacific Terminals is moving ahead with the construction of its #BerthTwoBeyondCarbon project, reaching over 50% completion and diversifying its export capacities towards cleaner energies.

OCI had previously told Hydrogen Insight that the facility would benefit from the 45Q tax credit in the US, as well as demand for lower-carbon molecules to be imported into Europe as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism #CBAM kicks in from 2026. Woodside expects to see an internal rate of return (IRR) of more than 10% from the Beaumont project, with a payback period of less than ten years. The blue #ammonia project will also go towards meeting the oil & gas firm’s 2030 targets for Scope 3 emissions reduction of five million tonnes of CO2-equivalent a year and $5bn in clean energy investments. The Australian oil and gas firm eyes exports of ammonia from Beaumont to European and Asian markets, noting that beyond the EU’s CBAM, Japan and South Korea are both expected to implement Contracts for Difference schemes to cover the cost gap between imports of fossil fuels and “lower-carbon” alternatives.

Although significant investment has been announced, less than half of the deployment pipeline for low-carbon power has reached FID Global Energy Perspective 2024 - Mc Kinsey & Company. Despite continued reductions in the LCOE, the deployment of low-carbon power generation faces challenges related to broader market design and infrastructure. Notwithstanding numerous announcements spurred by policies such as the US IRA, clean commodities production faces a significant shortfall in firm commitments. The pace of FID is not on track to meet net-zero targets, following concerns over feedstock availability and competitive pricing. The European Union and the United States have introduced several policies, which include incentives, to promote CCUS. However, the deployment of CCUS faces barriers including lack of market readiness and logistical issues. Moreover, CCUS is as yet unproven at scale for postcombustion plants. EV adoption and heat pump initiatives are progressing in both regions but are hindered by high costs and supply chain dependencies.  Antofagasta Minerals TotalEnergies ENGIE North America Inc.

Is Australia poised to lead a Green Steel Revolution? Recent global trends in green steel production highlight Australia's unique position. But are we ready to seize this opportunity? Key points to consider: 1. Green steel production requires substantial clean hydrogen and continuous zero-emission electricity. 2. Regions with strong renewable energy resources have a competitive advantage. 3. South Australia aims for 100% net renewable energy by 2030, already achieving nearly 70% by 2022. What could this mean for the Australian steel industry?: - Potential for South Australia and Tasmania to become green steel hubs - Opportunity to leverage existing iron ore resources with new clean technologies - Possible shift in steel production locations towards renewable energy sources Bright spots for Australia: 1. South Australia's excess solar generation could be harnessed for hydrogen production 2. Tasmania's reliable hydro power presents a promising scenario for green iron production 3. Major mining companies are already securing long-term renewable energy contracts As we navigate the transition to green steel, it's crucial for Australian industry professionals to stay informed and innovative. How do you think Australia's renewable energy advantages be harnessed for green steel production? #GreenSteel #Sustainability #Construction #Procurement
