Eine IW-Umfrage zeigt, dass 42,6 Prozent der Deutschen der industriellen CO2-Abscheidung und -Speicherung grundsätzlich offen gegenüberstehen.

In der eigenen Umgebung lehnen jedoch viele die Technologie ab. Die schwarz-rote Koalition plant, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) schnell gesetzlich zu ermöglichen. Fachleute betonen, wie wichtig Aufklärung ist, da viele Menschen kaum Wissen über #CCUS haben.

#CCS=(carbon capture & storage) capturing CO2 from exhaust gases and store it but still release about 5% of CO2 to atmosphere.
#DAC=(direct air capture) use energy to get CO2 out of atmosphere.
#CCUS=(carbon capture usage & storage) capture CO2 from exhaust gases, release 5% to atmosphere and use the CO2 for example to get more oil out of a reservoir (enhanced oil recovery).

The National · Campaigners call for reassessment on Peterhead plant climate impactBy Laura Hannot

"2023 #FallEconomicUpdate gives a tax break for investing in #CarbonCapture which allows you to continue increasing #OilAndGas production & shareholder profits but you have to provide evidence that it's actually doing that & the evidence for the efficacy of #CCUS on a mass scale is thin at best."

Continued thread

"The number of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage #lobbyists is higher than the core delegations from the United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, and the European Union combined. Nearly half (209) are attending as members of national delegations, potentially giving them greater access to the negotiations. The #COP29 Presidency invited 55 as guests. "

Season 3 Episode 3: Carbon Capture and Storage with Prof Mike Bickle

In this episode, Christina talks to Professor Mike Bickle about what methods for carbon capture and storage are the most promising (and the most likely for us to engage in), what some of the dangers are, what it would take to deploy carbon capture and storage at the scale required, and how long it might take us to bring an end to the global warming we’ve created. Prof. Bickle is professor emeritus at the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Cambridge.

Conquering climate change for our survival and that of much of the rest of the biosphere calls for more than attaining net zero emissions of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. We also need to actively remove much of the 140 extra parts per million of carbon dioxide currently up there in the atmosphere thanks to our burning of fossil fuels and destruction of so much of Earth’s biosphere. Both attaining net zero and going beyond it will take carbon capture and storage. This means capturing carbon dioxide from power plants and other point sources and from our agricultural activities before it gets into the atmosphere, as well as capturing carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. Then, we need to store that carbon somewhere safely away from the atmosphere for at least a few thousand years.
