The memorandum is one of the 12 agreements signed by the Naftogaz Group at Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s resilience in the energy sector. It provides for cooperation on a pilot carbon capture and storage (CCS) project involving the capture, transportation, and permanent storage of CO₂ between Ukraine and Poland.
CCS technology combines the capture of CO₂ at industrial facilities, its transportation, and injection deep underground for permanent sequestration. One possible approach involves the use of depleted oil and gas fields, which, after the end of production, can be repurposed as CO₂ storage sites.
Such solutions are already operational and continue to develop globally, including in Norway, Iceland, and the Netherlands, where approaches include CO₂ injection beneath the seabed, mineralisation, and storage in depleted gas fields.
This cooperation is designed to turn Poland and Ukraine’s industrial and geological complementarities into a practical decarbonisation corridor. Our aim is to help structure a bankable pilot that can demonstrate how captured CO₂ can be transported and permanently stored in suitable geological formations,” said Walid Sinno, CEO of C-Questra.
