The region, heavily dependent on fossil fuels, sees its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increase, especially those from natural gas. These emissions, produced during extraction and processing, include CO2 venting from reservoirs, which represents a major challenge for reaching the region’s climate goals.

According to data from S&P Global Commodity Insights, CCS could…
