CCS/CCUS (Capture, Storage, and Utilization of CO₂)

CCS*1 and CCUS*2 are technologies to inject CO₂ underground for storage and use.
The ENEOS Group has been working on implementing CCS/CCUS ahead of other companies since FY2014 as we move towards decarbonization. In addition to our own emissions, by also reducing CO₂ emissions from other companies, we aim to create added value, and are working on building and strengthening our value chain in preparation for future expansion of CCS/CCUS.

• Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage

In September 2022, we made the US-based Petra Nova CCUS Project, which has been working on this with another company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENEOS Xplora. Through this project we have also acquired the technologies and operational expertise for CO₂ separation and capture, and for transporting, injecting, storing, and monitoring it using pipelines, and are now working to expand our knowledge further.
