March 03 – BASF Japan, a subsidiary of BASF, has announced that the high-pressure regenerative CO2 capture technology Hipact co-developed by BASF and its engineering partner JGC Corporation will be used by Inpex Corporation, one of Japan’s largest exploration and production companies in its Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia Project. This is Japan’s first demonstration project for the production of blue hydrogen/ammonia from domestically produced natural gas, the consistent implementation of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in domestic depleted gas fields and the use of hydrogen for power generation and ammonia production. The project is funded by the Japanese governmental organization New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (Nedo).
The Hipact technology will be applied to efficiently capture and recover CO2 in the process gas from a hydrogen production facility using domestic natural gas as feedstock. Located in the Hirai area of Kashiwazaki City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, the production facility is constructed by JGC Japan Corporation and is expected to start up in 2025. The recovered CO2 will be injected into the reservoirs of the depleted gas fields leveraging CCUS technologies for enhanced gas recovery (EGR).
By releasing the CO2 off gas above atmospheric pressure, Hipact is expected to reduce CO2 capture and compression costs by up to 35 % compared with conventional technologies. This is due to its excellent high-temperature durability and CO2 absorption performance. As CO2 can be stored underground in an energy-saving manner, maximum benefits are expected for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

March 08 – Siemens Energy compressors will be used at Occidental’s first large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in Texas’ Permian Basin developed by 1PointFive, a subsidiary of Occidental. The two compressor packages will enable the plant to capture up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 per year when fully operational. The announcement was made recently by Siemens Energy President and CEO Christian Bruch and Occidental President and CEO Vicki Hollub at the 41st annual Cera Week energy conference hosted in Houston, TX, USA.
Siemens Energy will supply a motor-driven 13,000 horsepower (hp) fully modular wet gas compressor package and a motor-driven 8,500 hp dry gas compressor for the DAC plant. The equipment will compress the captured CO2 for additional processing and pressurize the final product into a pipeline for injection into underground reservoirs.
1PointFive’s plant is expected to provide practical solutions that hard-to-decarbonize industries can use to help achieve net zero. Captured carbon dioxide can be safely sequestered deep underground in saline formations or used to produce hydrocarbons to enable lower-carbon or net-zero transportation fuels and in products like chemicals and building materials.
“We are leveraging Oxy’s core competence in carbon management to capture and sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide to help meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and reduce emissions globally,” said Vicki Hollub, President and CEO, Occidental. “Our first Direct Air Capture plant will advance industrial-scale carbon capture to provide a solution to help Oxy and others accelerate their respective paths to net zero.”

March 21 – Johnson Matthey (JM) has signed a LCH technology licence with Equinor and Linde Engineering for H2H Saltend, one of the UK’s largest low carbon hydrogen (ccs-enabled) projects. JM was selected alongside the firm’s EPC partner Linde Engineering for the major Feed contract by Equinor. The licence counts towards JM’s milestone of winning more than ten additional large-scale projects by 2023/24.
H2H Saltend is a 600-megawatt low carbon hydrogen production plant with over a 95 % carbon capture rate, one of the first of its kind and scale in the UK, helping to establish the Humber as an international hub for low carbon hydrogen. This is the first phase of Equinor’s ‘Hydrogen to Humber’ ambition to deliver 1.8 gigawatts of low carbon hydrogen production in the region, nearly 20 % of the UK’s national production target by 2030.
Due to be operational by 2027 and located at the energy intensive Saltend Chemicals Park, to the east of Hull, it will help to reduce the park’s emissions by up to one third. To achieve this, low carbon hydrogen will directly displace natural gas in several industrial facilities reducing the carbon intensity of their products, as well as being blended into natural gas as the Equinor and SSE Thermal’s Saltend Power Station.
The amount of CO2 captured will be around 890,000 tonnes per year equivalent to taking about 500,000 cars off the road annually.

(Source: Air Liquide)
March 23 – Air Liquide will invest around 60 million euros to revamp two Air Separation Units (ASUs) which the Group operates in the Tianjin industrial basin, in China. This announcement comes within the context of the renewal of a long-term industrial gases supply contract with Tianjin Bohua Yongli Chemical Industry Co. (YLC), a subsidiary of the Bohua Group.
As part of this modernization plan, Air Liquide will significantly reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of oxygen and other gases with the adaptation of these ASUs so that they can run on electrical power instead of steam. In addition, the Group has signed a three-party Memorandum of Understanding with YLC and the Tianjin Binhai District, notably to explore the implementation of Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) solutions.
Replacing the current steam supply of the ASUs by electricity will avoid the emission of 370,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is comparable to the equivalent electricity-related emissions of more than one million Chinese households. The two electrified Air Separation Units will produce oxygen and other air gases to supply YLC as well as other industrial customers in the Tianjin basin. They will have a total oxygen production capacity of ~4,000 tons/day. Planned to be operational mid-2024, the two ASUs will be modernized by Air Liquide Engineering & Construction without any disruption of supply to YLC and other local customers.
This project also includes the possible supply of low carbon energy to the units through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) currently under discussion. This would allow further emission reductions in the future.
