InCapture and Yara Partner for Offshore Storage in Western Australia

• InCapture Pty Ltd and Yara Pilbara Fertilisers Pty Ltd have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of large-scale offshore carbon storage infrastructure in Western Australia's Pilbara region. This collaboration aims to establish a multi-user carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub, providing industrial emitters across the Pilbara with access to shared offshore carbon storage. The project will assess technical, regulatory, and commercial pathways for permanent geological storage of CO2 within saline aquifers, independent of hydrocarbon production.

• PetroChina announced a significant increase in its carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) efforts during the first half of 2026, injecting 1.37 million tons of CO2. This represents a 14.2% year-on-year increase, as the company initiated construction of zero-carbon demonstration plants and advanced its CCUS initiatives. PetroChina's Tarim 1.2 million tons per year phase II ethylene project and a supporting green and low-carbon demonstration project at Dushanzi Petrochemical were also completed and brought into operation, marking China's first whole-chain green and low-carbon ethylene project.

• Researchers at National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan have tracked "blue carbon" from coastal ecosystems, discovering that it can travel over 1,000 kilometers via ocean currents to fuel deep-ocean carbon sinks. This research, conducted in the low-latitude warm pool of the northwestern Pacific, detected biosignals of algae, mangroves, and seaweed at depths of 500m to 1,000m, suggesting a previously under-researched carbon transport pathway where carbon floats long distances before sinking.
