carbon capture

Climeworks has set a goal to capture 1% of global carbon emissions by 2025 through its technology

The government says the project in Quebec City could cut costs for future commercial projects

UK scientists say replacing forests with crops for bioenergy power stations that capture carbon could instead increase the amount of emissions

It is urgently calling for a policy framework and criteria early next year

They will examine the government’s commitment to deploying the technology and whether it has a ‘Plan B’ to meet climate targets should the desired cost reductions not materialise

It is part of an international challenge with Saudi Arabia and Mexico to invest in new ways of reducing the cost of the technology so it can be commercially viable

A carbon capture project has been awarded a research and development grant worth almost £900,000. A consortium led by Carbon Clean Solutions Limited (CCSL) will use the funding to build a large-scale testing facility at the University of Sheffield. It will help progress research into lowering the cost of the technology, with the ultimate aim […]

Energy Minister Claire Perry reaffirmed the government’s commitment to clean growth during her visit to Tees Valley yesterday. She said the region has the potential to exploit opportunities from future growth industries such as carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), district heating and hydrogen. Ms Perry added the government’s commitment to regeneration and clean energy […]

Chile is to ban the development of new coal-fired power plants. The nation’s Energy Ministry and electric power generators’ association Asociación de Generadoras have agreed to not build any new coal plants without carbon capture and reduction technologies. The companies, which include Enel, ENGIE and AES, have also agreed to form a joint working group, […]

The US and Saudi Arabia have agreed to work together on technologies designed to reduce carbon dioxide from fossil fuel projects. They have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a framework for co-operation in the areas of clean fossil fuels and carbon management. That includes carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), supercritical carbon […]
