Dipka (Dee) Bhambhani of the U.S. Energy Association, and occasionally a PUF essayist, visited the United Arab Emirates. She went to Al Reyadah, the UAE's first carbon capture and sequestration facility. It's a joint venture between Masdar and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
The CCS facility captures emissions from the adjacent Emirates Steel plant in Mussafah. The CO2 is then transported and injected into nearby oil fields for enhanced oil recovery.
