Qatar’s state-owned oil and gas giant QatarEnergy has chosen Samsung C&T Corporation as the contractor, which will breathe life into a giant carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project designed to serve the Persian Gulf state’s existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities.

Envisioned to become one of the largest of its kind in the world, QatarEnergy’s CCS project will capture and sequester up to 4.1 million tons of CO2 per annum (mtpa), which is anticipated to place Qatar at the forefront of global large-scale carbon capture deployment, reinforcing its role in providing responsible and sustainable energy.
