In Salah
Industrial-scale CCS in action

In Salah, an industrial-scale CCS project in Algeria has been in operation since 2004. More than three million tonnes of CO₂, separated during gas production, have been securely stored in a deep saline formation. BP, Sonatrach and Statoil, the project operators, aim to store a total of 17 million tonnes over the next 20 years.

The In Salah project is of global significance; providing assurance that secure industrial-scale geological storage of CO₂ is a viable option for climate change mitigation. The project is supported by the US Department of Energy and the EU. The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum has identified In Salah as one of the most important industrial-scale CCS initiatives globally – helping to counter the view that the technology is not yet proven.
