Earth to fossil fuels: “You’re choking me to death with your carbon and methane emissions!” Fossil fuels to Earth: “Stop making such a fuss. We’re working on a solution that will allow us to continue burning fossil fuels forever. It’s called carbon capture and it’s the greatest thing since pasteurized … [continued]
MIT spin-off Osmoses may have the answer to low cost carbon capture technology.
Failure to address CCS problems of magnitude, physics of underground storage, and resultant costs is a policy failure of staggering proportions.
The combination of failures to address the CO2 sequestration problems of magnitude of emissions, the physics of underground storage at scale, and the resultant costs is truly a policy failure of staggering proportions. It is willful blindness.
Everybody concerned about the climate crisis we are entering would love for some form of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to work wonders. It would be so much easier to avert crisis if we could just capture carbon and re-bury or store it in some energy-efficient, cost-efficient way. But to … [continued]
Climeworks’ first carbon capture prototype starts operating in Iceland.
As the cost of releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere goes up, so does interest in carbon capture.
I drafted this title before I saw the news break about a study that dismantles the “blue hydrogen” argument. In fact, a reader sent in the news within a minute or so of me drafting that title. The reason I was “inspired” to write this piece is that I keep … [continued]
