Dubai: Masdar, an Abu Dhabi government initiative owned by Mubadala Development Company, yesterday said it has selected Texas-based Mustang Engineering, a subsidiary of international energy services company John Wood Group plc, to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for Masdar's Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the UAE.

The project constitutes the first phase in a series of facilities capturing carbon dioxide emissions from Abu Dhabi's industrial and power generation plants.

The CO2 will be transported by a pipeline network and injected into Abu Dhabi's oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery.

The objective of the CCS network is to reduce Abu Dhabi's carbon footprint and replace the vast amount of natural gas currently re-injected into oil reservoirs.
