CCS Redux: Carbon Engineering’s Diesel? Just Put Electricity Into Tesla Semi Instead
For the same energy inputs you could travel 3 times as far for a 5th the CO2 emissions and well under half the cost in an electric truck.

CCS Redux: Carbon Engineering Was Always A Figleaf For Fossil Fuel Industry, Now It’s Owned…
Carbon capture and sequestration in all of its various ineffective, inefficient and expensive forms is having another run up the hype cycle. Nothing has really changed. The problems still exist. The alternatives are still better. The potential for use is still minuscule. And so, the CCS Redux series, republishing old … [continued]
Carbon Engineering Was Always A Figleaf For Fossil Fuel Industry, Now It’s Owned Outright By…
Claiming that we can vacuum CO2 out of the atmosphere to deal with the historical and annual problem is specious nonsense, and then using CO2 to pump more oil to add to the problem is adding insult to injury.
CleanTechnica Report: A case study into a technology that should be set aside until 2050,…
Researching air-carbon capture for use post-2050 remains a very good means of establishing the intellectual capital and basic technologies for when it makes sense to use them. But attempts to commercialize them today are premature.
“That Was Quick” Category: Carbon Engineering Partners With Occidental To Pump More Oil
As predicted, Carbon Engineering’s air-carbon capture solution to be used by oil majors such as Occidental for enhanced oil recovery to no climate benefit.
Chevron’s Fig Leaf Part 8: Carbon Engineering’s Diesel? Just Put Energy Into Tesla Semi Instead
If Carbon Engineering is making e-diesel, driving the same distance in a freight truck would cost at least 6.5 times as much and have 16 times the CO2 emissions as just using electricity in a Tesla Semi.
Chevron’s Fig Leaf Part 7: Carbon Engineering’s Fuel Is At Best 25x The Cost, 35x…
Carbon Engineering will produce transportation fuels that cost 18-25 times more and have 22-35 the CO2e emissions as just using electricity in an EV
Chevron’s Fig Leaf Part 6: Carbon Engineering’s Air-To-Fuel Plan Is Even Worse
Carbon Engineering is planning to build high-cost and comparatively high-emission transportation fuels by combining their expensive CO2 with hydrogen which they will get via expensive electrolysis.
Chevron’s Fig Leaf Part 5: Who Is Behind Carbon Engineering, & What Do Experts Say?
Air carbon capture, especially as Carbon Engineering is doing it, is a fig leaf for the fossil fuel industry.
Chevron’s Fig Leaf Part 4: Carbon Engineering’s Only Market Is Pumping More Oil
Carbon Engineering’s solution is only useful in tapped-out oil wells and as greenwashing for fossil fuel companies.
