Burying the climate change problem: greenhouse gas carbon dioxide
Burying the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, has been mooted as one geoengineering approach to ameliorating climate change. To be effective, trapping the gas in geological deposits would be the for the very long term, thousands of years. Now, a team in Brazil, writing in the International Journal of Global Warming has reviewed the risk assessments for this ...

EU project taking CO2 out of the atmosphere
'The European Commission is committed to encouraging industry to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and research plays a vital role in that,' said the European Science and Research Commissioner, Janez Potočnik. The accumulation of CO2 is considered to be the main cause of climate change. However, the EU-backed project CO2SINK, with financing to the tune of EUR 8.7 million, aims to ...

Developing a unified approach to qualifying CO2 storage sites
Bold political will and industrial incentives are required to accelerate the deployment of options to mitigate climate change. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been highlighted as one of the key technologies that can help put the world on a ‘low-carbon’ diet. Many pilot-scale and demo-scale projects are now underway around the world, and project developers are considering taking the next ...

Questions and Answers on the proposal for a directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide
1) What is carbon capture and storage? Carbon capture and storage is a suite of technological processes which involve capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the gases discarded by industry and transporting and injecting it into geological formations. The major application for carbon capture and storage (CCS) is to reduce CO2 emissions from power generation from fossil fuels, principally coal and ...

WRI summary of S. 699: department of energy carbon capture and sequestration program amendments act of 2011
S.699 authorizes the Department of Energy to conduct a program to demonstrate commercial application of integrated geologic storage projects, and provides a framework for selection criteria for these demonstrations. Importantly, the bill addresses the long term-stewardship challenges associated with demonstration, including site closure requirements and liability protection. Overview of Bill ...

Capturing and storing CO2 deep underground
CSIRO and the CRC for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) hosted a seminar today on the latest research and technology underpinning carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). The seminar, held at the Australian Resources Research Centre in Perth, was officially opened by the Western Australian Minister for Energy; Resources; Industry and Enterprise, The Hon. Francis Logan. Experts from ...

Future landfill shortages and legislation will drive EfW investment, says waste expert
The UK waste management industry is heading for a ‘perfect storm’ of factors that will drive investment in advanced energy from waste (EfW) technologies, the advisor to the Mayor of London told Futuresource. Ecolateral director Peter Jones explained that a ‘wonderful elision of interesting shortages’ will converge over the next two to three years, which will force waste ...

Will CO2 stay in the ground?
Storing carbon deep below the earth's surface could play a prominent role in tackling climate change. But before underground CO2 reservoirs can be deployed as viable long-term storage options, environmental concerns over leakages and the behaviour of trapped CO2 must be addressed. A new model can help predict how different geological sites will respond to CO2 sequestration, and the likelihood of ...

Call for Innovators
With our partner, Shopify, we are calling on companies working on carbon dioxide storage methods to collaborate with us on atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. At Carbon Engineering, we’ve been working on Direct Air Capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) for almost 12 years. Our technology is capable of deploying at large scale to capture megatons of CO2 directly out of the air at each ...

DOE seeks proposals to increase investment in industrial carbon capture and sequestration projects
The US Department of Energy has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement soliciting projects to capture and sequester carbon dioxide from industrial sources and to put CO2 to beneficial use. The successful development of advanced technologies and innovative concepts to prevent CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere is a key component of national efforts to mitigate climate change. DOE ...

NRDC Expert: Nuclear waste bill Risks “Another dead end”
A new legislative proposal to deal with the decades-old problem of disposing of tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste “risks sending the nation down another dead-end road” on the radioactive waste issue and should not be approved in its current form, a nuclear policy expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council said today. In written testimony for a hearing Tuesday before the ...
