Technology roadmap: carbon capture and storage

After outlining the rationale for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which revolves primarily around lowering costs of climate change mitigation, and the functioning of the technology, the Roadmap enters into a detailed scenario for the growth of CCS from the few projects that exist today to over three thousand projects …

Storage of carbon dioxide in offshore sediments

The battle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the most dangerous consequences of climate change will be waged across multiple fronts, including efforts to increase energy efficiency; efforts to deploy nonfossil fuel sources, including renewable and nuclear energy; and investment in adaptation to reduce the impacts of the climate …

Onshore geologic storage of CO2

The possibility that substantial quantities of CO2 can be injected into subsurface porous rock formations has been investigated sufficiently to show that pore space available to contain the CO2 is abundant. Multiple rock types and physical mechanisms can be used to trap the CO2 indefinitely. With careful site selection and …

BP Exec Touts Natural Gas To Cut U.S. CO2 Emissions

The head of BP Plc's Americas business said on Thursday the United States could sharply reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by expanding its use of natural gas over fuels such as coal. "Natural gas has the greatest potential to provide the largest carbon reductions at the lowest cost using technology …

China grapples with a burning question

In the coming weeks, on the plains of Inner Mongolia, China will launch its first large-scale effort to capture and store carbon emissions from a power plant. A new coal-to-liquid plant in Erdos will burn coal to make, at the outset, a little over 1 million metric tons per year …

Carbon capture and sequestration

Overwhelming scientific evidence shows that CO2 emissions from fossil fuels have caused the climate to change, and a dramatic reduction of these emissions is essential to reduce the risk of future devastating effects. On the other hand, access to energy is the basis of much of the current and future …

Carbon Sequestration

To slow the atmospheric buildup of CO2, a report from the U.S. National Research Council recently called for building a suite of 15 to 20 power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) before 2020. "The urgency of getting started on these demonstrations to clarify future deployment options cannot be …

Why capture CO2 from the atmosphere?

Air capture is an industrial process for capturing CO2 fromambient air; it is one of an emerging set of technologies forCO2 removal that includes geological storage of biotic carbonand the acceleration of geochemical weathering. Although aircapture will cost more than capture from power plants when bothare operated under the same …

Amine scrubbing for CO2 capture

Amine scrubbing has been used to separate carbon dioxide (CO2)from natural gas and hydrogen since 1930. It is a robust technologyand is ready to be tested and used on a larger scale for CO2capture from coal-fired power plants. The minimum work requirementto separate CO2 from coal-fired flue gas and compress …

Storing CO2 In Soil Should Be On U.N. Agenda: Gore

Developing emissions markets to encourage farmers in poor countries to store more carbon dioxide in soil should be a key topic on the U.N. climate talks agenda, global warming activist Al Gore said. "I think that soil carbon conservation and recarbonizing of soil must be the next stage in this …

A first, coal-fired plant tries to bury its CO2

Novel Pollution-Control Experiment At American Power Plant Draws Visitors From India & China Matthew L Wald Poking out of the ground near the smokestacks of the Mountaineer power plant here are two wells that look much like those that draw natural gas to the surface. But these are about to …

Refitted to Bury Emissions, Plant Draws Attention

Poking out of the ground near the smokestacks of the Mountaineer power plant here are two wells that look much like those that draw natural gas to the surface. But these are about to do something new: inject a power plant

Tackling Climate Change Could Earn Africa $1.5 Billion

Using Africa's vast agricultural resources to help tackle climate change could earn the continent $1.5 billion a year, a World Bank head said on Tuesday. The region should also tap its underexploited renewable resources, particularly hydropower, to meet increasing energy demand and boost both growth and development. "It is essential …

Low Carbon Energy Slips In Policy Vacuum

Britain's first clean coal plant will miss a government deadline and its first new nuclear plant will not come on line before 2020, reflecting global climate policy uncertainty, a utility chief said on Thursday. Investments in many pricey, carbon-cutting technologies from wind to nuclear power depend on government support or …

Call to switch oil for carbon in North Sea

Britain could earn billions of pounds a year and sustain tens of thousands of jobs by selling space deep under the North Sea for storing carbon dioxide captured from European power station emissions, geologists told the British Science Festival in Guildford on Tuesday.

Natural Gas Hits a Roadblock in New Energy Bill

The natural gas industry has enjoyed something of a winning streak in recent years. It found gigantic new reserves, low prices are encouraging utilities to substitute gas for coal, and cities are switching to buses fueled by natural gas. Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake Energy blamed
