The Northern Lights JV, developed by Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies, is now receiving and injecting CO₂ volumes beneath the Norwegian North Sea. CO₂ is shipped to a terminal in western Norway, then piped 100km offshore and injected 2,600m below the seabed for permanent storage. With Phase 2 agreed in March 2025, capacity will expand to ≥5 Mt/year by 2028. This project is a major milestone for large-scale CCUS – and one of more than 50 hubs being developed by OGCI members worldwide.

Proud to have played our part in this important initiative. New data from the London Register of Subsurface CO₂ Storage shows 383 million tonnes of CO₂ stored since 1996 - equal to 81 million cars taken off the road for a year. A powerful reminder of the vital role CCS plays in global decarbonisation, and of the many projects worldwide driving this progress forward. Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability Global CCS Institute Carbon Capture and Storage Association IEAGHG CSIRO Royal Academy of Engineering
Today we launch the London Register of Subsurface CO2 Storage The Register is a publicly available scientific record of the amounts of CO2 stored underground by projects globally. In this initial publication we report data inclusive of the period 1996 – 2024. We publish a detailed database with information about individual projects and the sources of the data, and an Annual Report summarising the data and the independent assurance evaluation of the data gathering process provided by DNV on the Register website at: https://lnkd.in/eDnb5TmK Here are some of the key findings: · The Register shows that over 384 million tonnes of CO₂ has been stored underground worldwide since 1996 and the current growth trajectory is on track to exceed a total of 1 gigatonne stored underground by 2030. · In 2023, the most recent year with complete reporting, over 45 million tonnes of CO2 were stored underground. This is a large amount of storage and is equivalent to the CO2 emissions avoided by between 50 - 150 TWh of renewable energy production, more renewable energy than was produced by most countries around the world in the same year, including the United Kingdom. · The Register shows that CO2 storage is happening at industrial scales around the world, with commercial projects in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and China. This shows that deployment occurs in a wide variety of geographical, geological, jurisdictional, and policy settings. · This data highlights that carbon capture and storage, and the type of geological storage that will be needed for CO2 removal from the atmosphere, is not a concept for the future, but a proven, scalable technology operating effectively today. · These findings provide visibility to the very hopeful message that we have the technologies needed to solve climate change, that CO₂ storage is happening today around the world, and that it is well placed to make its contribution to large-scale climate change mitigation Congratulations to our Exec.

It was inspiring to share in this discussion at COP30 Brazil on how we turn collective ambition into practical climate solutions across the energy sector. After a decade of collaboration among OGCI member companies - and now supporting the The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) as it scales this model globally - we're showing how the oil and gas sector can be an essential partner in a credible, accelerated energy transition. Thank you to Viviana Canhao Coelho and the Petrobras team for all the support leading up to this conversation. #ClimateAction #OGDC2025StatusReport
At COP30 Brazil, The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) was proud to launch Energy Day under the auspices of the COP30 Presidency during the session “Collaborating to accelerate decarbonization in the oil & gas industry.” The discussion highlighted how the oil and gas industry continues to play a critical role in the global energy system, drawing on examples from OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative) and OGDC to showcase how private and state-owned companies who are signatories to the Charter are collaborating to deliver practical, outcome-oriented climate action. In the spirit of the Global Mutirão, panelists emphasized the importance of inclusive engagement across diverse geographies and contexts, which is key to advance interim climate ambitions and drive meaningful progress throughout the sector. The event also marked the launch of OGDC’s Status Report: Implementing Action, which captures how signatory companies are translating ambitions into tangible decarbonization outcomes. We are grateful to ADNOC Group, aramco and TotalEnergies for their leadership as CEO Champions of OGDC, and extend a special thank you to Petrobras for driving regional industry engagement during Energy Day.

repsol is investing in the Ecoplanta project in Spain, a pioneering waste-to-fuels facility that will convert 400,000 tonnes of non-recyclable municipal waste each year into renewable methanol. Over its first decade of operation, the project is expected to avoid 3.4 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. Ecoplanta will provide sustainable fuels for aviation, shipping and road transport, helping to decarbonize sectors that are otherwise difficult to electrify. Through OGCI, Repsol’s experience is helping to show how low-carbon fuels can be scaled to support net zero targets across the energy and transport systems. 🗣️ See Josu Jon Imaz’s perspective in the quote below. #OGCIProgressReport2025

The oil and gas sector has a pivotal role to play in cutting methane, as highlighted by Angeli Mehta PhD for Reuters Events Sustainable Business. At the OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative), we’re demonstrating what’s possible when ambition is matched by collaboration and measurable action. Beyond our own operations, OGCI’s Satellite Monitoring Campaign and partnership through The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) are helping expand methane reduction efforts to 55 companies across more than 100 countries, amplifying progress industry-wide. As global attention turns to Casa Amazônia Brasil - COP 30, OGCI remains committed to cutting emissions, scaling solutions, and driving collaboration to achieve net zero operations within the Paris Agreement timeframe. #Methane #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #OGCI #Decarbonization #Sustainability #COP30
Methane cuts were one of climate action's biggest quick wins – until political pressure started threatening to unravel the progress, writes Angeli Mehta PhD. Four years after the U.S. and EU launched the Global Methane Pledge, 159 countries have committed to cutting emissions 30% by 2030, and the oil and gas sector has shown it can deliver: the 12 Oil and Gas Climate Initiative members slashed methane emissions by 63% in seven years, while the Permian Basin cut methane intensity by 50% despite rising output. But the Trump administration is now pressuring the EU to weaken its Methane Emissions Regulation. Investors representing nearly 5 trillion euros in assets are urging the EU to hold firm. The biggest challenge remains turning satellite data into action – especially in Africa where only Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria have developed methane action plans despite massive gas discoveries. #methane #climatechange #globalwarming #energytransition #oilandgas #LNG #climateaction #sustainability #ESG #fossilfuels #greenhousegases #climatepolicy #energysecurity #COP30 #climatetech Deborah Gordon, RMI, Jonathan Banks, Clean Air Task Force, Bjørn Otto Sverdrup, OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative), Mahmoud Ibrahim Mahmoud, APRI Africa Policy Research Institute gGmbH, International Energy Agency (IEA) S&P Global, Carbon Mapper, Terry Slavin, Liam Dowd https://lnkd.in/egWUrsbP
