North Dakota’s Department of Agriculture is inviting grant proposals from ethanol producers under its Low Carbon Fuels Program, aiming to fund capital projects that cut carbon intensity.
Deep Sky, in partnership with Quebec-based Skyrenu, has completed North America’s first permanent underground storage of CO₂ captured directly from the atmosphere, a full carbon removal loop achieved at Deep Sky Alpha in Innisfail, Alberta.
Clean Refineries has partnered exclusively with Eden Carbon Solutions to deploy integrated technology that captures CO₂ emissions and converts them into sustainable aviation fuel across North America.
ION Clean Energy has unveiled ICE Blocks™, their new line of self-contained, modular carbon capture units tailored for smaller post-combustion emission sources like natural gas facilities and other hard-to-abate flue gas emitters. The units, designed in partnership with Modular Plant Solutions, are quickly deployable, scalable, and transportable via road, rail, or sea.
Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies have stored the first CO₂ volumes at Norway’s Northern Lights CCS project, marking the world’s first operational open-access CO₂ transport and storage facility. Phase 1 capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year is fully booked, with Phase 2 set to expand to 5 million tonnes annually.
