Bolongaro et al. (2026): Life cycle assessment of solid calcium-looping direct air capture and its synergistic dual use for net-negative cement

Vittoria Bolongaro, David Yang Shu, Noah McQueen and André Bardow, IN: Chem Circularity, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.checc.2026.100037

Calcium-looping direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) is a mature technology with potential for gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR), yet its environmental impacts remain insufficiently quantified. Here, the authors present the first prospective life cycle assessment of large-scale calcium-looping DACCS based on primary industrial data.

Henríquez et al. (2026): Fluid–rock interaction experiments on basaltic volcanic rocks at 90 bar and 50 °C for potential carbon storage in Patagonia, Chile

Carolina Henríquez, Klebson C. Silva, Luis Mancini, Paulo Quezada, Mauricio Calderón, Leonardo Fadel Cury, Anelize Bahniuk, IN: International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2026.104659

The rise in atmospheric CO₂ demands the need for scalable carbon removal strategies. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) through mineralization in Ca- and Mg-rich basalts represents a robust and long-term approach for permanently sequestering CO₂ as stable carbonate minerals. The Pali Aike Volcanic Field in southern Patagonia, a basaltic province of geological significance, remains underexplored for CCS applications. Its location in the Magallanes region, a center for green hydrogen development, highlights its strategic value for CO₂ storage. This work presents the first laboratory-scale CO₂ injection experiments conducted on continental basalts from southern South America. Powdered basalt samples were reacted with water and supercritical CO₂ for 1, 7, 10, 15, 30, and 100 days, and both aqueous and solid phases were analyzed to track geochemical and mineralogical changes.

Wang et al. (2026): Cost outlook of coal power with CCS and BECCS based on a component learning curve incorporating efficiency upgrades: a case study of China

Delu Wang, Fan Chen, Chunxiao Li and Lawrence Loh, IN: Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2026.104950

Grasping the cost outlook of CCS and BECSS is crucial for guiding coal power-dependent nations in technological strategy planning and investment decision-making during the low-carbon transition. Given the practical characteristics of technological learning in the coal power sector and the limitations of existing literature in forecasting technology costs, this study adopts a learning rate estimation method that incorporates efficiency upgrade based on the component learning curve approach. Taking China as a case study, it analyzes the future cost trends and economic-environmental benefits of CCS and BECCS from a systematic perspective.

Wong et al. (2026): Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS): Interconnected technological challenges and advances using biomass thermochemical conversion towards negative emissions

Min Jin Karen Wong, Sunlee Han, Sea-Eun Park, Hyeon Yeong Roh, Madhan Kuppusamy, Ju-Won Oh, Hyungseok Nam, Youngsoo Lee and See Hoon Lee, IN: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2026.116832

Addressing the climate crisis demands both emission reduction and large-scale negative emission technologies capable of permanently removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is one of the most prominent options, as it integrates biomass conversion with CO₂ capture, transportation, and geological storage. Unlike conventional CCS, BECCS links a biological supply chain with an engineered capture-storage chain, creating strong interdependencies in which limitations at one stage propagate throughout the system. This review synthesizes progress made over the past five years across the full BECCS chain.

Um Min Allah et al. (2026): Techno-economic assessment of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage for Brazilian thermoelectric power plants

Fazal Um Min Allah, Rodrigo Nogueira De Sousa, Elena Trim, Adriano da Silva Marques and Monica Carvalho, IN: Biomass and Bioenergy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2026.109043

To achieve near-zero carbon emissions in fossil-fueled power plants, one of the viable solutions is to use bioenergy along with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for the thermoelectric sector in Brazil. This study is conducted to carry out techno-economic assessments for pulverized coal (PC) and natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants by employing BECCS. A comparative analysis of these technologies is presented, followed by the incorporation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) while using bioresources as fuel feedstock for PC (co-firing) and NGCC power plants.

Erste CO2-Transporte zur Einlagerung in Norwegen für 2025 geplant

deutschetageszeitung.de, 20.11.2023

„Im Jahr 2025 sollen die ersten Ladungen des Treibhausgases CO2 zur Einlagerung am Meeresgrund nach Norwegen gebracht werden. Der norwegische Düngemittelhersteller Yara International unterzeichnete am Montag einen Vertrag für den Transport von CO2 aus einer Fabrik in den Niederlanden. An dem „Northern Lights“ getauften Projekt sind mehrere große Energiekonzerne wie Equinor, Shell und TotalEnergies beteiligt.“

Klima-Glossar zur CO2-Speicherung

vienna.at, 20.11.2023 05:00 Uhr

„Neben der Wirtschaftlichkeit gibt es weitere Hürden für die CO2-Speicherung. In Österreich zum Beispiel ist sie seit 2011 verboten, weil es Bedenken wegen möglicher Umweltschäden gibt, sollte das CO2 plötzlich entweichen. Allerdings wird alle fünf Jahre überprüft, ob das Verbot noch gerechtfertigt ist. Der zuständige Bergbauminister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) hat sich im Herbst 2023 für eine Aufhebung des Verbots ausgesprochen, die notwendige Zustimmung aus dem Grünen Klimaministerium fehlt aber nach wie vor. Neben Österreich ist die CO2-Speicherung in acht weiteren EU-Staaten verboten, darunter auch in Deutschland (Stand: 2023).“
