London-based exploration and production company Energean has announced its Prinos CO2 project, which is looking for suitable geologies to store carbon dioxide, is advancing to create a new ‘decarbonisation hub’. Initial drilling and well testing is scheduled for 2026.

Three new non-binding memorandums of understanding (MoUs) have been signed, bringing the total MoUs to 15, totalling 6.12 million tonnes a year of storage.
