Why the Worldβs Largest Asset Manager Went All-In on CCUS:-
"BlackRockβs investment in Eniβs carbon business came just months after it acquired GIP for $12.5 billion. GIP brought in about $100 billion in infrastructure assets covering energy, transport, and utilities. Now part of BlackRock, GIP is being positioned as a key player in building clean energy and decarbonization projects.
By buying into Eniβs CCUS unit, BlackRock signals its belief that carbon capture will play a major role in meeting global net-zero targets. It also shows that carbon management is no longer just a policy toolβitβs becoming a commercial opportunity for investors.
The deal gives BlackRock access to long-term, inflation-protected revenue linked to decarbonization goals. For Eni, the partnership brings in capital to expand its CCUS business faster while keeping control of day-to-day operations".
2026 will be the year our massive CCS project gains traction (the majors are watching and will want a piece of the pie) π
