Backed by billions in government funding, this groundbreaking effort could reshape how countries approach industrial decarbonization. This isn’t a small trial. It’s a nation-wide commitment to capture, transport, and store CO₂ deep beneath the North Sea.…

Introduction As the race to net zero intensifies, Asia is fast becoming a hotspot for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). At the centre of this transformation stands Japan, positioning itself as a regional leader driving policy, investment, and collaboration across Asia. This article explores how Japan’s leadership in carbon capture could reshape Asia’s industrial…

BHP is bringing together a global group of steelmakers and energy companies to explore carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) hubs across Asia. The effort focuses on industries that are some of the hardest to decarbonize: steel, cement, and chemicals. For these sectors, CCUS is not just a technology option. It is rapidly becoming a…

CCUS mainstream adoption is accelerating. Once seen as too expensive and experimental, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is now becoming central to industrial strategy.
