Economic Potential of DACCS and Global CCS Progress
Notable project developments in the 12 months since the last Global Status report
include:
•
.
•

.
Drax Power Station in the UK announced the world's single largest bioenergy with
CCS (BECCS) project, with a world-scale 8.0 Mtpa capacity across two units.
The Klemetsrud Waste-to-Energy CCS project in Norway moved to In Construction,
having secured funding. This is the first commercial-scale CCS project applied to a
waste-to-energy facility.
Glacier CCS Project - capture technology firm, Entropy, commissioned a CO2 capture
facility on a natural gas-fired reciprocating engine, the first of its kind at commercial
scale and an important milestone given the importance of future capture from natural
gas combustion streams worldwide.
Air Products announced its blue hydrogen project in Louisiana, incorporating natural
gas gasification technology.
ORCA, the world's first commercial direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS)
facility, was commissioned in Iceland. Its follow-up, the MAMMOTH project, was then
announced.
In Australia, the Bayu-Undan project by Santos has moved into Front End Engineering
and Design (FEED). This project will capture CO2 from LNG production in Darwin and
transport it via pipeline across the maritime border between Australia and Timor-
Leste for offshore geological storage. A key feature of this project is repurposing an
existing natural gas pipeline for CO2
Occidental, in partnership with DACCS technology company Carbon Engineering,
announced that construction will commence on a 500 ktpa direct air capture project
in the Permian Basin in the US. The plant is said to be capable of scaling up to a 1
Mtpa capacity. This is in the context of Occidental's stated plans to develop a fleet of
70 135 such facilities around the world by 2035.
