Introduction
Norway has launched one of the world’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects for heavy industry. 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. The Norwegian government has pledged around $3.4 billion for this initiative, with nearly $2.2 billion in public funding. The project focuses on industries that…
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 and energy landscape and what other nations can learn from it.
Japan’s CCUS Vision
Japan’s government has made CCUS a pillar of its 2050 net zero…
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 necessity. By aiming to create shared pipelines, transport links, and geological storage, BHP is positioning CCUS as the backbone of Asia’s industrial future.
