QatarEnergy has awarded Samsung C&T Corporation the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for a landmark carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project to serve QatarEnergy’s existing LNG production facilities in Ras Laffan Industrial City.
The new project will capture and sequester up to 4.1 million tons of CO2 per annum, making it one of the world’s largest initiatives of its kind. This milestone positions Qatar at the forefront of global large-scale carbon capture deployment, reinforcing its leadership in delivering responsible, sustainable, and innovative energy solutions.
By integrating advanced carbon management technologies, the project further supports Qatar’s vision for a low-carbon future and its commitment to environmental stewardship.

“This milestone project builds upon our growing carbon capture and sequestration capabilities, which reinforce our position as a reliable provider of affordable lower-carbon energy. All our LNG expansion projects will deploy CCS technologies, with an aim to capture over 11 MTPA of CO2 by 2035. By implementing important environmental aspects of QatarEnergy’s sustainability strategy, our CCS projects will enable a significant reduction in Green House Gas emissions and will greatly support Qatar’s National Climate Change Action Plan. To achieve this, we are pleased to partner with Samsung C&T Corporation, and we look forward to the successful execution of this world-scale project.”
QatarEnergy launched its first CCS project in 2019 with a capacity of 2.2 MTPA, marking the beginning of its large-scale carbon management journey. Building on this success, two other ongoing CCS projects are set to support the North Field East and North Field South expansion developments, capturing and securely storing 2.1 MTPA and 1.2 MTPA of CO2 respectively.
Together, these initiatives represent a significant step toward achieving QatarEnergy’s long-term emissions reduction targets and advancing its commitment to sustainable energy production.
