TotalEnergies, Equinor, and Shell have launched the second phase of the Northern Lights #carboncapture and storage (CCS) project, which will increase the project's CO2 transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to over 5 million tonnes annually, commencing in 2028.
Aviation fuel from CO2-> 95% lower heat-trapping gas emissions.

“[Some] efficiency comes by operating only when renewable power [is cheap]. By running at ideal times, the process avoids extreme energy expenses typical to power-to-liquid operations. What's more, the strategic electricity use doesn't strain the grid and avoids competition for valuable electricity”
Having long advocated for “seasonal" energy use, this is marvelous to see.

A fossil fuel project in Teesside has landed a £10bn subsidy for a fairytale technology. But the government’s carbon sums don’t add up. - https://goodlawproject.org/labour-is-chucking-cash-at-a-carbon-capture-con-so-were-taking-action/ staggering waste of money; it will never work on the scale required #carboncapture
CO₂ isn't just waste - it's strategic opportunity. Industry leaders turn carbon capture from regulatory burden into competitive advantage - and we're helping make it happen - https://bit.ly/CO2Economy #CarbonCapture #NetZero #CircularEconomy #Steel #Cement

752 #ClimateSolutions #CarbonCapture #MoneyScam ?
I get very very anxious when solutions costs vast amounts of money with no guaranteed outcome.
If #BigOil and #BigMoney want to rid themselves of cash so badly, there are better ideas.
Besides
it means a capitulisation to ideas like #ConsumeLess and a more frugal living.
Do you really need all that plastic and electronic gadgets that need the exploitation of the #EArth and people?
But lets just have a think:

Quote by JHaT:
"Mar 16, 2025
Carbon Capture and Storage has been heralded by some as the 'silver bullet' to enable a smooth transition to renewable energy while preventing existing greenhouse gas emissions reaching the atmosphere, or even, in the case of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), actually sucking CO2 back out of the air. But recent studies have shown these to be a completely false economy and yet another ruse by the fossil fuel industry. So, who should we believe?"

Carbon-negative cement and steel are here. At CC&C, we're validating modular CO₂ capture systems that cut emissions up to 85%, under $100/ton, with minimal energy use. Real solutions, real impact —today.

The “Energy Transition” Delusion
There is no energy transition - only ongoing and symbiotic energy addition.

I have complicated thoughts about #CarbonCapture, but I did find this analysis interesting regarding what it needs for one to "succeed" (the authors don't specify what that means), notably credibility of revenues, capital cost, and technological readiness.

Green light for UK carbon capture projects – but will they deliver?
CO₂ is no longer just a waste stream - it’s a business opportunity.
From EOR to cement to agriculture, captured carbon is fueling new revenue models.
