JIP targets CO2 conditioning standard for carbon capture projects

Wood is leading a joint industry project (JIP) to develop guidelines for CO₂ specifications to address the negative impact of impurities in CO₂ across the CCUS chain, from transportation through storage and eventual usage.

The aim is to establish a CO₂ conditioning standard to suit safety, environmental, technical and operational requirements.

JIP members include Aramco, Equinor, Fluxys, Gassco, Harbour Energy, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the Net Zero Technology Centre, OMV, Petronas, Shell and TotalEnergies, alongside DNV, Heriot-Watt University, IFE, NGI, NPL and TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory (NEL).

There is also support from various licensors and equipment suppliers.
