John Kerry Warns Relying On Carbon Capture Technology Is Dangerous
John Kerry says reliance on carbon removal and carbon capture technologies is not only foolish, but possibly dangerous as well.
Carbon Capture (CCS)
How To Achieve A Gigaton-Scale Carbon Removal Market
An interview with Hannes Junginger, CEO of Carbonfuture, on how to achieve a gigaton-scale carbon removal market Can you give a simple explanation of the Carbonfuture platform and who it is designed for? We provide carbon removal you can trust. The value of the carbon market is bottlenecked by verification. … [continued]
Fervo Energy Plans Direct Air Capture Facility Powered By Geothermal Heat & Electricity
Fervo Energy will build a direct air capture demonstration plant to test its geothermal and carbon removal technology.
Spinning Gold From Carbon
Avoiding the worst effects of the climate emergency is a hugely complex problem. Where can we store all the carbon we have been blowing into the atmosphere for years? ‘Just capture it, recycle or bury…’ Carbon Management is the popular magic word. But new technologies like carbon capture also show … [continued]
The Key To Avoiding The Worst Effects Of The Climate Emergency
With the ongoing climate emergency and nations’ commitments to meet net-zero goals by 2050, there’s a heightened need to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions through whatever means possible. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) are included in the mitigation pathways set out by the … [continued]
Airlines Banking On Capturing Carbon From The Air
In the EU, airlines are under pressure to cut carbon emissions or pay for the emissions they create. They are also under some pressure from consumers who are concerned about flying because of the enormous amount of pollution flying creates. Clearly, large airplanes are not going electric anytime soon, and … [continued]
Bacteria Could Help to Capture Greenhouse Gases
Carbon dioxide is an important molecule necessary for life on Earth. Trees need CO2 for photosynthesis, crops produce higher yields in its presence, and some bacteria can transform it into food. The molecule is even an important part of human health, driving us to take in big breaths of oxygen. However, … [continued]
$5.4 Million To Research Turning Buildings Into Carbon Storage Structures
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been selected to receive over $5.4 million from the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) for the development of technologies that can transform buildings into carbon storage structures. The funding is part of ARPA-E’s Harnessing Emissions into Structures Taking Inputs from … [continued]
Elon Musk, Alphabet, & Joe Biden (USA) Just A Few Investing Billions Into Carbon Removal
As the world shifts toward clean energy in its automobiles and its energy generation tactics, experts say there’s still a lot of work to do to ensure global temperatures don’t keep rising. One costly but effective solution is carbon removal technology, which many companies and federal initiatives are just starting … [continued]
Capturing Carbon With Inspiration From Battery Chemistry
Berkeley Lab researchers are developing a gamut of technologies for direct air capture The need for negative emissions technologies to address our climate crisis has become increasingly clear. At the rate that our planet is emitting carbon dioxide — adding about 50 gigatons every year — we will have to … [continued]
