Carbon capture and sequestration technologies encompass a set of methods to prevent carbon dioxide from reaching the atmosphere. When natural gas is combusted and / or in certain industrial processes, carbon dioxide mixed with other gases are released into the air. To prevent these gases from reaching the atmosphere they can be captured and either sequestered (stored) indefinitely or be used. The IPCC has repeatedly stated that CCUS technologies are a critical enabler for the world to transition to a low-carbon economy.

In this workshop, we focus on the state of CCUS technologies for both natural gas-fired power generation, industrial use, and their application on LNG liquefaction plants. Together with our expert panelists, we analyze existing projects, key elements that led to their respective final investment decisions, and key lessons that these projects offer. We aim to conclude with an overview of the state of CCUS technologies as they relate to the natural gas industry anno 2026.

14.00 – 14.15 Introduction / setting the stage

15.00 – 15.30 Capture technology review:

• Pre- and post-combustion, oxyfuel / Amines, cryo
• Retrofits versus newly built
• Costs and challenges
• Most suitable sectors for CCUS, with focus on economics

15.30 – 16.00 Aggregation challenge: collecting CO₂ and transporting it

• Existing pipelines versus newly built
• Transport: compression, CO₂ carriers
• Sequestration: depleted oil- or natural gas fields, salt caverns, saline aquifers, challenges and opportunities

15.30 – 16.00 Coffee break

16.00 – 16.30 Commercial models: break-down of the economics of the value chain and the importance of government funding

16.30 – 17.00 Brief look at case studies: Singapore CCUS, Northern Lights, Saskatchewan
