This problematic approach is another example of the tears-in-the-ocean choices of climate mitigation policy.

I can’t even think of what the environmental groups are going to say to the arguments about infeasibility of CCS. There really is no functional economic demonstration of this technology at scale, even today, and there likely...

One line of enquiry, common when such incidents occur, was that the rupture was caused by the formation of carbonic acid. This is a major problem in CO2 pipelines since the acid can form with trace amounts of water – as...

Taken together, these physical, economic, and environmental realities mean that DAC is a technology whose time will never come.

Imagine harvesting millions, billions of tons of wood, and not even burning it, let alone using it for construction.

Carbon Dioxide Removal does not solve the climate problem at scale. It shifts emissions into complex engineered systems that must remain stable for centuries, while consuming vast amounts of energy and resources. The climate...

The CO2 captured by the compound can be released by heating the compound at 70 °C in 30 minutes. Clean CO2 is recovered and can be recycled.

Storegga said it would sell its Acorn stake following a “strategic review of its business, capital requirements and future structure”.

I'm sure there was a time greens wanted to protect forests from bulldozers.

To recap: the UK’s flagship CCS installation will sequester annual emissions so tiny you’d find bigger fractions in a decimal quiz, at a price per tonne you’d expect to see on a luxury cruise...

It goes without saying that spending taxpayer money on non-jobs, that create no added value for the economy, will act as a brake on economic growth in the long run.

Britain’s CCS crusade championed by the climate zealot Ed Miliband, far from being a mark of leadership, may ultimately stand as a cautionary tale of how “climate leadership” ambitions and economically-illiteracy can...

Carbon capture is an energy consuming process, so Connah’s Quay will use a lot more gas than a conventional CCGT does. On top of that, there is the CAPEX and OPEX involved in the carbon capture, as well as the cost of piping...

In the end, CounterPunch is correct to point out that CCS is a scam, it absolutely is, and is a massive waste of billions of dollars. They missed the main reason, though, and that is that it is totally unnecessary. In no...

This isn't cutting-edge climate tech. It’s an energy-intensive Rube Goldberg machine designed to appease green investors, virtue-signaling corporations, and bureaucrats allergic to basic physics.
