Methodologies in Carbon Capture: Paving the way for a greener future

  • Post category:Technical

In the pursuit of a sustainable future, Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as a powerful tool in curbing carbon emissions. At the heart of CCUS lies the crucial first step: carbon capture. This process involves the extraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial processes before it is released into the atmosphere. In this blog, we will explore the various methodologies employed in this essential stage of the CCUS journey.

Introduction to CCUS: Sustainable Solutions for a Greener Tomorrow

  • Post category:Technical

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is now the most significant greenhouse gas, contributing over 70% of the total effect on climate change as of 2018. During the last decade, there have been many new environmental policies all with large scale reduction of CO2 emissions at their heart. One solution is Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), a process that holds potential for mitigating the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on our planet. Continue reading to learn more about CCUS, how it works and its role in the energy transition, and how we, at Merlin, are committed to a sustainable future.

NSTA Infrastructure Reporting

  • Post category:Technical

The first NSTA (North Sea Transition Authority) infrastructure reporting round of 2023 has recently completed, but as with all things concerning data, there is always more to do! Since 2021, the NSTA have been standardising the way infrastructure is reported to try and mitigate against common problems observed during previous rounds. Continue reading to learn more about these updates and how Merlin can help you navigate the next reporting round..
