Inpex Corporation has joined the Rajabasa Geothermal Project in Indonesia through Inpex Geothermal Ltd , a subsidiary established for the purpose of conducting geothermal business . The project is based in the Rajabasa Geothermal Block in Lampung Province in the southeast part of Sumatra island , Indonesia . Engie SA , Sumitomo Corporation , and PT Supreme Energy , a private Indonesian geothermal power generation business developer , have until now conducted exploration activities through an investment |
in PT Supreme Energy Rajabasa . Inpex joined the project by acquiring 31.45 % of the shares of PT Supreme Energy Rajabasa held by Engie SA through Inpex Geothermal . While the project is in the exploration stage , surface and geophysical surveys have indicated a certain potential for geothermal resources . If sufficient geothermal resources are located through exploration activities to warrant the development of the project , this is expected to contribute to the further expansion of Inpex ’ s geothermal business in Indonesia . |
Aker Carbon Capture has signed a Letter of Intent for the delivery of two Just Catch units for an undisclosed European customer . Both units will be part of a project with a capture capacity of 200,000 tonnes CO2 per year . The final investment decision is expected in the second quarter of 2023 . “ We are pleased to announce that we have reached an important milestone for the development of this large carbon capture project . With our field-proven carbon capture technology we are dedicated to help decarbonize our customer ’ s industrial operations . Today , we are already in the |
construction phase of two flagship projects , one in Norway and one in the Netherlands . This new project is a clear testimony of our ambition to be a carbon capture frontrunner . Carbon capture , utilization and storage is crucial to reduce industrial emissions and mitigate climate change . The time to act is now ,” says Valborg Lundegaard , Chief Executive Officer at Aker Carbon Capture . At Twence ’ s waste to energy facility in the Netherlands , Aker Carbon Capture is currently delivering a Just Catch unit with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes CO2 per year . This plant will be in operation by the end of 2023 . |
The US Department of Energy ’ s ( DOE ) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management ( FECM ) has announced USD 2.5M in funding for four training and research projects to be conducted at US colleges and universities . The projects will support the development of technologies capable of converting natural gas to high-value products , such as fertilizer , antifreeze , pharmaceuticals , and a wide range of chemicals like ammonia , methanol , and propane , and will also promote collaborative work in humanities-driven science , technology , engineering , and mathematics ( STEM ) fields . Projects were selected |
under FECM ’ s University Coal Research ( UCR ) program and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions ( HBCU-OMI ) program . These programs serve to educate and train the next generation of engineers and scientists working to advance integrated solutions key to meeting the Biden-Harris Administration ’ s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 . FECM funds research , development , demonstration , and deployment projects to decarbonize power generation and industrial production , remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere , and mitigate the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production and use . Priority |
areas of technology work include carbon capture , carbon conversion , carbon dioxide removal , carbon dioxide transport and storage , |
hydrogen production with carbon management , methane emissions reduction , and critical minerals production . |
