When carbon dioxide (CO2) is released from a factory or power plant, the gas can be captured and permanently stored underground, preventing it from driving climate change. This is the idea underpinning carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology that is at the heart of many nations’ net-zero plans. Influential organisations, including the Intergovernmental … [continued]
An evidence based assessment of key barriers to Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage, and its potential for maritime decarbonisation. As shipyard orderbooks are full of fossil-powered vessels, and uncertainty remains about the speed of green fuels uptake, the shipping industry is also looking at a wide range of alternative solutions. … [continued]
Google Gemini generated this detailed infographic illustrating the complex logistics, high energy penalties, and significant lifecycle emissions that result in a negative climate value for shipboard carbon capture systems.
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation’s Project CAPTURED life cycle assessment is one of the more important documents yet produced on shipboard carbon capture. Not because it proves the technology works, but because it finally grounds the discussion in measured data across an end to end value chain. For years, … [continued]
Fossil fuel companies like Exxon see powering data centers as an important new revenue source and are making promises they can’t keep.

Why we still need carbon, how much is sustainable, and how should we move it around? Why do we still need to capture carbon for the future green transport system? To achieve its net-zero target by 2050, Europe must decarbonise all of its transport sector. While direct electrification is rapidly … [continued]
ChatGPT generated this image to illustrate the stark choice between proven climate solutions—like renewables and electrification—and the risky uncertainty of geoengineering
A study by the Royal Academy shows that geoengineering is fraught with climate and political dangers that could backfire on humanity.
ChatGPT generated: A visual summary of Canada’s carbon capture landscape, where oil sands and industrial clusters dominate the investment horizon.
Mark Carney’s first federal budget arrived with the promise of discipline and credibility, but also a signal that Canada would stay in the clean economy race. The climate provisions were not new programs so much as extensions of what already existed. They provided more time for industry to commit to … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic infographic showing how most CCS concepts fail the purity, proximity, and economics filter, leaving only a few viable industrial niches
Carbon capture and storage has been marketed as a general solution to climate change. The record shows it is not. Where it does make sense is where chemistry gives you a high-volume, concentrated stream of CO2, where geography puts that stream on top of storage or at a pier with … [continued]

“The path to energy generation is the use of diverse no-carbon and low-carbon sources,” Tan Lee Leng, Singapore’s Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science, said in his opening keynote of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2025. This year is the 18th running of SIEW. The event underscored Singapore’s strategic position … [continued]
