Can CCS meet Europe’s climate targets? Three projects beset with problems suggest not.
The European Union is betting on carbon capture and storage (CCS) to decarbonise heavy industrial emitters.
High costs, local opposition and technical issues threaten the viability of the EU’s multi-billion euro gamble on CCS to decarbonise heavy industry.

#Brennerautobahn und #Alpitronic nehmen #Megawatt-Ladesystem in #Bozen in Betrieb
Die #Brennerautobahngesellschaft hat auf dem #Parkplatz #Firmian an der Ausfahrt Bozen Süd Italiens erste #Megawatt-Ladestation für Lkw eröffnet. Das #HYC1000-Ladesystem von #Alpitronic bietet nicht nur einen #MCS-Stecker, sondern auch drei #CCS-Lademöglichkeiten. Bei Bedarf kann der Standort zudem um ein zweites #Megawatt-Ladesystem erweitert werden.

Schleswig-Flensburg ist nun #CCS - freier Kreis. Eine Mehrheit im Kreistag hat sich (gegen die CDU) zum CCS-freien Kreis Schleswig-Flensburg bekannt. Somit sind nun beide Kreise an der dänischen Grenze CCS-frei! Wir gratulieren @ccs-stoppen.bsky.social 🎉

Uih, hartes Ergebnis … CCS ist gar keine Wundertechnologie? Es ist unklar, wie viel und wie lange das CO₂ gespeichert bleibt?
Hey Wolfgang, sorry for OffTopic.
I've been searching on Umweltrat-de for information on the embedded CO2 in CCS.
You know, like, how much more gas has to be burned in order to capture the CO2.
And additionally, how much energy is required to make the solvent that goes into the CCS process, and how much energy goes into transport and storage.
This new-ish Greenpeace publication
https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/story/great-carbon-capture-scam/
says "10 to 40% more energy" is required, but then quotes this surprisingly old source from 2006... https://www.jstor.org/stable/48526261?refreqid=excelsior%3Af975048a0b74cc357bf303fa24ddce1f
This https://www.umweltrat.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/01_Umweltgutachten/2016_2020/2020_Umweltgutachten_Entschlossene_Umweltpolitik.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2
names Bongartz et al 2015 for
"Gleichzeitig sinkt aufgrund des Energiebedarfs für die Abscheidung der Wirkungsgrad des Kraftwerks je nach Abscheideverfahren , wodurch der Brennstoffbedarf erhöht wird."
I don't have access to Bongartz et al 2015. Do you? Where did their information come from, and is it publicly available?
The energy carrier used in a power plant itself is necessarily the same as used for power generation, I guess.
But the energy for making the solvent and for transport and storage of the captured CO2 might be from a different source, potentially renewable. So that's why I'd like to have this split into two parts.
If a CCS+gas power plant needs, lets say, 3x more gas to actually remove CO2 from power generation compared to a gas power plant without CCS,
this CCS+gas incurs 3x more methane leakage!
AND also 3x more CO2.
So a test installation that allegedly removes 1Mt of CO2 per year, only removes 330kt from power generation, and the remaining 670kt removed were CO2 from the removal process itself?
Or in other words, 1Mt removed leads to 2Mt emitted?
I think, this information must be out there in the public debate. Especially now when the Green's newly legislated gas power plants of 12.5GW have been increased by the new government to 20 GW.
CCS means more gas is burned. The removal efficiency is bad. The methane leaks alone are making this endeavour even worse than just burning coal.
Thank you for your help!
NSTA asks for location nominations to push forward on carbon storage: Call for nominations builds on success of granting permits at Hynet and Endurance sites, giving the UK two major approved storage projects.

“Direct capture is a scam, carbon capture is a scam, blue hydrogen is a scam, and electrofuel is a scam. These are all scam technologies that do nothing for the climate or air pollution,” says a professor of civil and environmental engineering.

"The carbon capture company #Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promised to capture. The company is even failing to offset the emissions resulting from its operations."

10 companies selected to compete for Denmark’s CCS Fund with DKK 28.7 billion for Carbon Capture and Storage: The Danish Energy Agency has selected 10 companies from a pool of 16 applicants to compete for DKK 28.7 billion in funding for Carbon Capture and Storage projects. The funding is expected to help reduce Denmark’s annual CO₂ emissions by 2.3 million tonnes from 2030.

Schweizer CO₂-Pionier Climeworks steht vor Massenentlassung
Das Schweizer Unternehmen #Climeworks gilt als Vorzeigeprojekt für technische Lösungen im Kampf gegen die #Erderwärmung. Jetzt steckt das ETH-Spin-off in einer Krise.
Das Schweizer #StartUp Climeworks filtert mit seinen Maschinen #CO2 direkt aus der Luft. Mit dieser Idee hat das Unternehmen nicht nur internationale Anerkennung gewonnen, sondern auch rund 810 Millionen US-Dollar an Investorengeldern. Nun aber muss Climeworks Angestellte entlassen.
In #Island betreibt Climeworks zwei Anlagen. Beide sollten Vorzeigeprojekte sein, doch die Realität hinkt hinterher. Laut dem isländischen Investigativjournalisten Bjartmar Alexandersson liegen beide weit unter den Versprechungen: «Wir haben herausgefunden, dass die Zahlen keinen Sinn ergeben. Sie behaupten, mehr CO₂ einzufangen, als sie tatsächlich tun.»
Eine der Anlagen solle fähig sein, über 36’000 Tonnen pro Jahr aus der Atmosphäre einzufangen. Im ersten Jahr waren es laut dem Journalisten nur 105 Tonnen.
Laut #SRF hat das Unternehmen ein Konsultationsverfahren eingeleitet – ein Schritt, der #Massenentlassungen vorausgeht. Mindestens 10 Prozent der 498 Angestellten wird gekündigt. Laut dem Unternehmen werden es wohl deutlich mehr als 10 Prozent sein.
Nobody on fedi is ready for me to never shut up about Shadowverse when the new client drops.
Or Digimon when that one happens.
You’ve been warned.
