In our recently published Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), we introduce our new Carbon Capture, Allocation, Transportation, and Sequestration module (CCATS), which allows us to model carbon capture in the coming decades.

The CCATS module allocates projected supply of captured CO2 across the energy system for either enhanced oil recovery or geologic storage using a network representation of capture facilities, transshipment points, and sequestration sites.

In AEO2025, we project CO2 capture at electric power and industrial facilities will increase through the 2030s, primarily due to increased tax credit values. Captured emissions peak at 1.5%–3.5% of energy emissions in the late 2030s in most cases.

In most of our cases, we considered laws and regulations in place as

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS observed by NSF-funded Gemini North telescope

Using the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii, astronomers have captured an image of comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object that was first detected on July 1, 2025, by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) for which the comet was named. The letter “I” means “interstellar,” and “3” indicates it is only the third object from another star system ever observed. The observations will help scientists study the characteristics of this rare object’s origin, orbit and composition.

Gemini North is in Hawaii and is one half of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The imagery reveals the comet’s compact coma — a cloud of gas and dust surrounding its icy nucleus.

“The sensitivity and scheduling agility of the International Gemini Observatory has provided critical early characterization of this interstellar wanderer,” says Martin Still, NSF program director for the International Gemini Observatory. “We look forward to a bounty of new data and insights as this object warms itself on sunlight before continuing its cold, dark journey between the stars.”

Workers Exceeded Annual Dose Limit

Print View Posted on: 17 July 2025

Event Date: 08 April 2025 Event Type: Irradiation/Accelerator Facility Event Location: United States of America, Noblesville, Indiana/ Curium US LLC INES Rating: 2 (Final)

On April 8, 2025, two workers were performing waste handling activities in a hot cell basement of a cyclotron facility that produces strontium-82 from metallic rubidium targets. One worker removed a high-level liquid waste container from a shielded barrel and placed the unshielded container on the ground adjacent to the work area, where activities continued for approximately 15 minutes. Both workers’ electronic dosimeters alarmed for high dose soon after the container was removed from shielding; however, neither worker noticed these alarms because of the personal protective equipment they had donned, including respirators. Radiation surveys were performed upon entry to the area and prior to removing the container from shielding, but not again until after the workers left the area and noticed the excessive doses recorded on their electronic dosimeters. Radiation dose rates on contact with the waste container exceeded 9.99 Sv/hr (999 R/hr), which was the upper limit of available instrumentation. The licensee later
