Nippon, Mitsubishi, and ExxonMobil Assess CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) Project in the Asia-Pacific Regions.

Nippon Steel, a Japanese steel company led by Eiji Hashimoto, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday, the 25th, with Mitsubishi Corporation, led by Katsuya Nakanishi, and ExxonMobil, headed by Irtiza Sayyed, to explore investment possibilities for a value chain in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the Asia-Pacific regions.

According to the Memorandum, the three companies intend to research the application of CCS in Nippon’s steel plants. Additionally, they propose to evaluate the development of the necessary infrastructure for such a project.

The agreement includes a detailed analysis of storage opportunities in the Asia-Pacific, also including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia.

ExxonMobil is also betting on carbon capture and storage around the world. In Europe, the company has teamed up with three other oil and gas companies in a partnership for large-scale offshore CCS in the L10 project.

These oil companies aim to share existing infrastructure and have a plan ready by the end of the year, thus storing up to five million tons of CO2 in fields off the Dutch coast.

In the United States, ExxonMobil closed the largest CCS commercial agreement last October with CF Industries, a manufacturer of hydrogen and nitrogen products. The project, scheduled to go live in 2025, will capture and permanently store up to 2 million tons of CO2 per year in Louisiana.

Additionally, in the US, the company is making agreements in the Houston CCS Alliance, an initiative of energy and petrochemical companies focused on promoting technology in Houston’s industrial area.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Goodbye unbearable heat: roof with sandwich technology and cross ventilation can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 8°C and is starting to replace expensive air conditioning solutions.

China will make Brazil a world power in transportation with an 870-meter underwater tunnel under the largest port in Latin America, a $1.2 billion investment, unprecedented technology, and completion expected by 2031.

A giant hole has opened on the Sun and is now pointed directly at Earth, releasing particles at 700 km per second that are expected to hit the planet between Friday and Saturday.

Before Yuri Gagarin, hidden tragedies, failed missions, and lost voices in space may have been erased from the official history of the Soviet Union — could it be that the first human in space never returned home?

Work at the Federal Institute and earn up to R$ 7,000: IFRJ calls for individuals with high school, technical, and higher education levels in a competition with 400 vacancies, assistance of R$ 1,175, Idecan as the organizing committee, and the announcement expected for May 2026.
