Creating a Carbon Capture and Storage Value Chain

To get to net zero by 2050, we are co-developing large-scale sustainable carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions.

IN THE FRONT LINES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

For the past two years, we have been working with Stanford University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a high-performance open-source simulator for large-scale geological carbon dioxide storage. Another research partnership with U.K. start-up Cambridge Quantum Computing aims to develop new quantum algorithms to improve materials for CO₂ capture.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: A PIONEERING PROJECT IN EUROPE

In 2020, TotalEnergies invested in a major project in Norway alongside Equinor and Shell that involves shipping CO₂ to the North Sea for injection and storage in a geological reservoir situated around 2,500 meters under the seabed.

The installations will make it possible to sequester up to 1.5 million tons of CO₂ per year as from 2024.
