CCU/CCS: Echte Transformation statt falscher Technologieversprechen


Die Bundesregierung erarbeitet gerade eine Carbon Management Strategie zur Anwendung von CCS und CCU. Bei der Nutzung und Speicherung von abgeschiedenem CO2 gilt es, fossile Geschäftsmodelle nicht zu verlängern und Lock-ins zu vermeiden, meint die grüne Bundestagsabgeordnete Lisa Badum. Andernfalls schade die Strategie dem Klimaschutz. Ein merkwürdiges Merkmal klimapolitischer Diskussionen ist, dass ausgerechnet die Akteure,

Equatic’s Transformative Technology Allows Seawater to Capture & Store Carbon


Carbon removal company Equatic has developed a revolutionary process that relies on seawater electrolysis to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2), while simultaneously producing clean hydrogen. A new white paper written after consultation with EcoEngineers (Eco), a clean energy consulting, auditing, and advisory firm, outlines Equatic’s approach to quantifying and verifying Equatic’s carbon removal process. “White Paper: Equatic’s Measurement,

Is recycling CO2 into jet fuel the Holy Grail for sustainable aviation?


Carved out by glacial floodwaters that swept across the Columbia Plateau during the Pleistocene era, it’s a place that intimately knows change – climate, social and economic. What once was a barren landscape of arid steppe and canyon, beloved only by its inland Salish tribe, the Sinkiuse, its  waterways were damned, irrigation was developed and

Direct air capture of CO2: dangerous nonsense


The release of CO2 to the atmosphere has become a problem. So much so, that a nonsensical idea like direct air capture (DAC) has attained followers. And is even experimented on by companies. Clearly, the world is in distress when an extreme idea like direct air capture can be taken seriously. The stakes are high Our

The success of the INITIATE project using carbon capture and utilisation technology


Scientists estimate that roughly 34 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide is emitted globally each year. This gives us a sense of the immense amount of CO2 emissions going into the atmosphere yearly without being seen or very well perceived by the public. To grasp the scale of this phenomenon, imagine putting on magic glasses able to
