$3bn carbon capture project set for 2013
United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, October 29 - 2008 at 08:17
The developer of Abu Dhabi's $3bn Carbon Capture & Storage project said the scheme will be operational by early 2013, Reuters has reported. Abu Dhabi government-owned Masdar's CCS project, being developed by Hydrogen Energy, a joint-venture between BP and Rio Tinto, is the first commercial scale and countrywide scheme globally. Under the project, carbon dioxide will be captured from industries with major carbon dioxide emissions across the UAE, and then transported via pipelines to storage sites near oilfields. It is then injected into ageing oilfields for enhanced oil recovery.
