"Carbon Capture ‘Not Going to Happen,’ Top Fossil Fuel Advocate Predicts"
Which includes ANOTHER pipeline (this one for a non-existent Asia market) and a huge 16.5 BILLION DOLLAR #CarbonCapture scam championed by the serial liars at #PathwaysAlliance.

Here's a look at some major pr...
Exhibit B - Pathways #CarbonCapture project deleted all its own claims as the anti-greenwashing law was about to pass:
Exhibit A - Iceland's high-profile Climeworks #CarbonCapture project can't even offset its own carbon footprint:
If anyone is wondering, #carboncapture is stupid bullshit nonsense from the #fossilfuel industry to delay #environment action as long as possible while they continue to purposefully destroy the planet. Carbon capture doesn’t work. It’s just made up stupidity. And people who believe in it probably also believe in Santa Claus. #environmentalist #fossilfuels #green
#Carboncapture sector still waiting for investment boom from EU’s Industrial Carbon Management Strategy [Advocacy Lab Content]: While the strategy has spurred some new investment decisions, the sector is still waiting for overdue deliverables promised by the Commission. https://www.euractiv.com/section/eet/news/carbon-capture-sector-still-waiting-for-investment-boom-from-eus-industrial-carbon-management-strategy/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it
To the surprise of no one a new investigation shows that carbon air capture company Climeworks is unable to offset even its own operations, let alone their clients.
And mind you that this is in Iceland, where these plants run on 100% renewable electricity.

‘#Starmer says #Blair's #ClimateCrisis views are in line with government policy
Sammy Wilson (DUP) says Starmer’s net zero policy “is not only bad, it is mad”. Even Tony Blair says so, he says.
Starmer says Blair said there should be more #CarbonCapture. The government agrees. He called for more use of #AI. That is happening too, he says. And Blair said domestic targets were needed too, he says.’

Benchmarking the climate mitigation potential of #BECCS [Promoted content]: As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, it is becoming increasingly clear that reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions alone will not suffice. Experts globally are turning to negative emissions technologies to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere, with bioenergy with #carboncapture and storage, known as #BECCS, being a clear frontrunner in the technology race, given its dual… https://www.euractiv.com/section/eet/opinion/benchmarking-the-climate-mitigation-potential-of-beccs/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it
"Blair said there should be more focus on #carboncapture, saying: “The disdain for this technology in favour of the purist solution of stopping fossil-fuel production is totally misguided.” that's because it doesn't work and never will, you witless fool

Europe’s #CleanIndustrialDeal Needs More Than Just Ambition: The #CleanIndustrialDeal is a crucial step for Europe’s #decarbonisation, but its success depends on clear implementation. Policymakers must turn ambition into action to maintain #competitiveness and climate leadership, with #CarbonCapture #UtilisationandStorage (CCUS) at the heart of the Deal. https://www.euractiv.com/section/eet/opinion/europes-clean-industrial-deal-needs-more-than-just-ambition/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it

A fossil fuel project in Teesside has landed a £10bn subsidy for a fairytale technology. But the government’s carbon sums don’t add up. - https://goodlawproject.org/labour-is-chucking-cash-at-a-carbon-capture-con-so-were-taking-action/ staggering waste of money; it will never work on the scale required #carboncapture

In the absence of a #ZeroEmission grid,
I'm fairly sure energy use in the production process of this material would negate most of (if not all) the #CarbonCapture potential. But it does offer a demonstration experiment on #weathering feedback one can do with #students on a reasonable time scale... Even if I don't see a significant boon here for #ClimateChange mitigation.

'Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source. ... Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the reactor developed by the Cambridge researchers does not require fossil-fuel-based power, or the transport and storage of carbon dioxide, but instead converts atmospheric CO2 into something useful using sunlight."
