Carbon Economist Podcast

This episode of the Carbon Economist podcast focuses on the current landscape and advancements in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Europe. Hosted by Paul Hickin, editor in chief at Carbon Economist, the episode features Caterina de Matteis, senior policy manager for IOGP Europe. Discussed topics include the challenges, advancements, and partnerships in CCS, cost and regulatory issues, commercial risks, and stakeholder co-operation. Emphasis is placed on the evolving policies supporting CCS initiatives, financial mechanisms, and the need for increased public awareness.

Join Rhys Timson on the Carbon Economist podcast as he engages with Seth Haskell, a research analyst at Global Energy Infrastructure, in a deep dive into carbon capture and storage (CCS) for industrial use. Discover the sectors leading in CCS implementation, their successes and the hurdles they face. Explore the feasibility of scaling CCS for hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement, and examine the role of government support and economic factors in driving the CCS agenda.

Join Stuart Penson on the Carbon Economist Podcast as we explore the CCUS landscape on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Learn how major firms like TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil and Chevron are driving developments with strategic acquisitions and projects such as the Bayou Bend, Harvest Bend, and Coastal Bend.

In this episode of the Carbon Economist podcast, Stuart Penson delves into the evolving dynamics of the voluntary carbon credits market. Stuart examines the recent surge in demand, contrasting it with persistent allegations of greenwashing. Key developments include tightened industry standards and a notable rule change by the Science Based Targets Initiative, potentially allowing companies to count voluntary credits against Scope 3 emissions. Join us as we explore these pivotal shifts and their implications for the future of carbon offsetting.

The deployment of CCS and CCUS globally is accelerating as it now widely acknowledged as one of the key technologies for achieving net-zero and the limiting of global warming to 1.5 degrees.   Crucial to the performance of all carbon capture systems as the industry scales up is CO2 compression. Carbon Economist is delighted to host this exclusive podcast with MAN Energy Solutions to explore its unique range of technologies in this key area.   With its unrivalled expertise and skills, MAN Energy Solutions offers modularised compression solutions for every capture technology, based on years of experience in the compression of dry and wet CO2 and over a million hours of operation in CCUS applications.   The modules are engineered to reduce delivery and installation times, with their integrally geared technology delivering optimum performance in terms of both Opex and Capex.
