Government Policies and the Oil and Gas Industry’s Focus have Boosted Global Carbon Sequestration Activities
Summary
The US government’s focus is a major factor driving the carbon capture programs in the world’s largest economy. The revised EU Emission Trading System (ETS) directive has also boosted investments in the carbon capture and storage markets. Similarly the Australian carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS) and the Canadian government’s federal carbon tax, low carbon fuel standard are some the moves in this direction. The industry participants have also shown significant interest in carbon capture projects in order to evade carbon taxes due to excess emissions. Many companies have already invested significantly in carbon sequestration to reduce the taxes they pay on excess emissions. Recent announcements on carbon sequestration from oil and gas companies such as Total, ExxonMobil and Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) have strengthened carbon sequestration programs. BP, Royal Dutch Shell and Statoil, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Encana and ConocoPhillips have already begun carbon sequestration projects through partnerships or partial investment support.
