Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and economic investment opportunities in the UK
This article reviews the role played by carbon and capture (CCS) technologies in order to facilitate the transition to low-carbon emitting technologies in the medium-term. More precisely, we address the following central questions: how will the development of CCS technologies impact energy policies in order to yield to sustainable energy solutions? At what costs will pollution reductions be ...

Carbon Capture & Storage: CO2 Capture
F7.1 | DOE and NETL’s Carbon Capture R&D Program Timothy Fout | Project Manager, US DOE/ NETL With pending legislation or EPA action on greenhouse gas emissions, there is a concerted effort underway to find ways to meet possible future limits in a cost effective manner. The DOE, through its Existing Plants Program, is targeting existing pulverized coal (PC) power plants since ...

Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
Abstract The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If that is done, biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) would become a technology that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and at the same time deliver CO2-neutral energy ...

Comparing policy, regulations and institutions for geological disposal of radioactive waste and carbon dioxide
This paper compares the policy, regulatory and institutional (PRI) settings of Radioactive Waste (RW) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) disposal for selected countries. This comparison is premised on the following arguments: (a) the policy/political acceptance of nuclear power and coal power with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology to redress the climate change challenge will be essentially ...

Carbon capture is a mirage for poor nations
The world is witnessing a coal renaissance. While public attention remains focused on the progress of the clean energy sector, a ‘black revolution’ of coal power stations is taking shape in the developing world, in particular in Asia, according to Ottmar Edenhofer, the chief economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. At the Our Common Future under ...

Government ignores carbon emission reductions during recession
DECC remains confident that existing plans to cut carbon emissions by 2020 will serve to achieve carbon targets, reports Envido. In its response to the first annual report from the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC), the government accepted the committee's recommendation to effectively ignore carbon emission reductions that have been achieved as a result of the economic downturn. The ...

We join forces with Arktura to decarbonize the built environment
The built environment is one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters. To reach climate goals, we will have to radically change how we build things. That’s why we teamed up with architectural manufacturer Arktura to challenge the industry to think positively about going carbon negative. Once again, these past few weeks have delivered extreme climate events around the world at an ...

Why geoengineering can be only part of the climate solution
Climate change is not a technological problem, so a technological fix is not enough. The failure of the Kyoto Protocol and the underlying process of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has led to substantial interest in geoengineering technologies, under the usual (and not entirely irrational) view that if policy can’t work, perhaps technology might. And ...

How Will Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Contribute to the Global Temperature Goal of 1.5°C?
Let’s begin: what Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage is and how it works Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) consist of a series of technologies to capture carbon (usually as CO2) emitted by various processes, to then either be used or stored in an underground reservoir. Carbon capture can be achieved as part of an industrial process, such as hydrogen, ammonia or ethanol ...

Addressing carbon pollution from power plants is vital for avoiding catastrophic climate change
Future U.S. power suppliers will need to limit their carbon pollution, thanks to new standards announced today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The proposed emissions standards for new power plants are an important measure in implementing the President’s Climate Action Plan (announced in June) to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming. ...

FTIR gas analyzer supports carbon capture research - Case study
The development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies relies on the accurate measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) in addition to a wide array of other gases because it is vitally important that the process does not impact upon the emissions of other greenhouse gases and potential pollutants. An advanced FTIR multiparameter gas analyser from Gasmet Technologies is therefore being ...

Oxygen-separation membranes could aid in CO2 reduction
Ceramic membranes may reduce carbon dioxide emissions from gas and coal-fired powerplants. Written by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office.You can read the original new in MIT NewsIt may seem counterintuitive, but one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere may be to produce pure carbon dioxide in powerplants that burn fossil fuels. In this way, greenhouse gases — once isolated within a ...

We Are Focused On Getting Direct Air Capture Deployments Up And Running As Quickly As Possible
An conversation with Nicholas Eisenberger, Head of Market Development, Policy & Engagement at Global Thermostat Direct air capture is one of the carbon removal solutions that we need to balance out the excess CO2 emissions the society releases into the atmosphere annually. Global Thermostat is one of the pioneers in the space with experience and technology rooted in addressing ...

The Climate Change threat: How businesses can help curb global warming
The world must take 'unprecedented' action to limit the devastating impact of global warming. That's the urgent warning from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its UN-backed report (released on 8 October 2018). The report, which draws on more than 6,000 research papers, explains the calamitous consequences of failing to cap global warming temperature rises at 1.5 deg C above ...

CO2 Gas Sensing for Carbon Capture Technology
What is Carbon Capture and Storage?Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the process of capturing carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere, transporting it, and storing it for centuries or millennia.Carbon capture, use, and storage technologies can capture more than 90 percent of carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities. This captured carbon dioxide can be put to ...

Optimal CO2 metering solution critical to enhanced oil recovery
As oil wells age, the internal pressure gradually drops while fluid levels tend to move away from the production zone. To combat the resulting production declines at those wells, oil and gas companies turn to enhanced oil recovery to optimize output. Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and water alternating gas injection, also known as WAG, are unconventional enhanced oil recovery processes that ...
