How Shell uses CCS to store CO2 underground

🌍 Carbon Capture and Storage: Engineering the Invisible Shield Carbon Capture and Storage is not just a technology. It is a strategic necessity. As engineers, we often focus on what is visible: pipelines, compressors, control rooms. But CCS asks us to design for what we cannot see. It is about intercepting molecules before they reshape our climate. Shell’s global CCS efforts, from the North Sea to the Americas, are not just about decarbonising operations. They are about building scalable models for industries that cannot electrify or switch fuels overnight. CCS is the bridge between today’s emissions and tomorrow’s net zero ambitions. What resonates most with me is this. CCS is not a workaround. It is a responsibility. It draws on decades of oil and gas expertise, reframed for planetary stewardship. Reposting Shell’s latest update on CCS. Let us keep the conversation going. The future of energy will be shaped by what we choose to capture, not just what we choose to consume #CarbonCapture #CCS #NetZero #Decarbonisation #ShellEnergy #ClimateEngineering #EnergyTransition #ProcessEngineering #SustainableOperations #IndustrialDecarbonisation #LinkedInVoices #EngineeringForImpact ---

CCS is not a panacea, but it serves as an essential bridge during this critical phase of the energy transition. The value of industrial-scale implementations like Shell's lies in validating technological feasibility—only when capture, transport, and storage form a complete closed-loop system can we truly begin building negative emissions infrastructure.

Not all hydrogen is created equal. From brown to green, each color tells the story of how it’s produced and its environmental impact. Learn what these shades mean for the future of clean energy. https://lnkd.in/g8tsSyQv

As Rodney Garrard notes in today's article, the hype around ‘new’ energies risks echoing Samuel Keir’s 1850s sales tactics. "The idea that we can replace fossil fuels with some kind of improvised piecemeal energy system is misleading" ▶️ Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7-eHCeb #GEOEXPRO

Will we transition from carbon economy to hydrogen economy for a clean future? There’s enough natural hydrogen in the Earth’s crust to help power the green energy transition https://flip.it/K0aIsn

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) - Life Line for Fossil Fuel Extraction Another great video from Dave Borlace and his channel “Just Have A Think”. About 15 minutes in length and worth watching. “The Insane Carbon Capture Scam Continues”. Summary Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) - Implementation is slow. - Doesn’t perform as well as is claimed. - To be economically viable, it often gets tied to Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) - the captured CO2 is pumped into the ground to help recover more oil which predominantly ends up as CO2. - The net benefits are low or negative. Sadly, in Canada, the government decided to fund CCS. The same funding, if allocated to solar and wind, would produce clean energy, helping to reduce emissions, almost immediately. Going the clean energy direction would have a much greater positive impact. Why do we continue to subsidize the fossil fuel industry when doing so goes against our own self interests (clean air, clean water, a climate that sustains life)?
