ZEUS
Zero Emissions Unconventional Power Station
Energy transition is no longer a debate – it’s a deadline.
Energy transition is no longer a debate – it’s a deadline.
A critical sector to decarbonize is the oil and gas industry, where natural gas will still play a central role in the predictable future. But how to make natural gas not only affordable and reliable but also sustainable? This challenge is catalyzing the development and deployment of new, innovative technologies.
CES has partnered with multinational industry leaders – Petronas, MISC, and Aker Solutions – to develop and deploy a new Zero Emissions Unconventional power Station, “ZEUS,” for both onshore and offshore energy-intensive oil and gas production.

What is ZEUS?
ZEUS technology employs advanced oxy-fuel combustion to convert high-CO2 natural gas into electricity while capturing 100% of the CO2 emissions. By converting natural gas into “blue electricity,” ZEUS transforms gas from a mere transition fuel into a long-term, sustainable clean energy source for the future.
At the heart of ZEUS, is CES’ Pressurized Oxy Gas Generator, “POGG,” technology, that integrates a high-pressure oxy-fuel combustor with compact platelet-based heat exchangers. Due to its compact and modular design, it can be deployed at either onshore or offshore production facilities. Oxygen is supplied to the system by a traditional air separation unit (ASU), and the CES platelet burner can utilize natural gas with up to 80% CO2 content. The CO2 is immediately injected into a known reservoir for permanent storage.
ZEUS: Not a Myth. A Clean Power Reality

ZEUS is not just a whiteboard sketch – it’s a technology under active development. In August, 2024, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with Aker Solutions, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd., MISC Bhd, and Clean Energy Systems, marking the commencement of a pilot project featuring ZEUS technology. In June, 2025, the parties officially signed an agreement for the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) of the ZEUS Demonstration project. And today, there are ongoing deployment feasibility studies on several identified fields in Malaysia. ZEUS technology is well suited to offer sufficient energy to the region through blue electricity generated from the abundant high-CO2 natural gas resources in the area.
The parties seek to demonstrate the full ZEUS system and technology maturation via the Demo project from 2026 to 2028. Then commercially deploy at existing assets in 2029-2030.
