"We typically call [ #carboncapture, utilization and storage] a wild card technology, meaning there's some reason why it's not commercial now, why it is not being deployed everywhere," Sawyer said. "It has a bunch of uncertainty associated with it."

Reminder - the Climeworks #CarbonCapture project in Iceland couldn't even offset its own carbon footprint.
Carbon capture is not a real climate solution.

I remember discussions about US subsidies for CCS as far back as 2003 - accompanied by promises that this was THE SOLUTION. The technology for carbon capture is much older. And it still is not "mature" as a means of addressing #ClimateChange. Why do governments keep wasting money on this? None of the projects have delivered as promised.

Green washing. We have put up with the lies of and the acquiescence of subservient politicians (many on the make) towards fossil fuel companies for far too long.

An investigative report on how the fossil fuel industry influenced climate research in a paradigm-setting paper published 22 years ago:
the results: too much focus on carbon capture and storage, stretching the facts on an unproven idea that some still think could neutralize ongoing greenhouse gas emissions.

“You can have a healthy fossil-fuel balance sheet, or a relatively healthy planet”*…
The first two installments of what will be an on-going series from ProPublica and Drilled, covering fossil fuel companies in the 1990s who, even as they denied the reality of climate change, were quietly funding research that favored climate fixes that would protect their businesses…
An investigation by ProPublica and Drilled has found that fossil fuel companies have been funding climate research at prestigious U.S. universities for more than 30 years. Their support has helped amplify the work of scientists who promote the idea that we can stop the climate crisis without breaking our dependence on oil, gas, and coal.
The research produced by those schools in turn shaped global climate models, as well as the policy and technology solutions adopted by governments around the world.
Ultimately, it fostered a misperception that climate change could be solved without dramatically curtailing fossil fuels — a notion that has delayed emissions cuts by decades.
Corporate funders sponsored entire centers, paid the salaries of researchers, kept offices on campus and in some cases had veto power over projects.
Companies maintain they are supporting innovation and needed science. Universities say that with safeguards, sponsorship enhances research programs while preserving academic independence.
Still, the impact of funding constitutes a pattern that Benjamin Franta, an associate professor of climate litigation at University of Oxford, called the “colonization of academia.”…
“Why Carbon Capture Can’t Conceivably Solve Climate Change“- For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis. From Katie Worth and Lucas Waldron.
“How Oil Execs Shaped A Landmark Climate Study“- BP created an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” shaped climate discourse for a generation. From Maddie Stone.
As the first piece concludes…
Climate experts know about the costs, technical troubles, and failures of CCS [Carbon Capture and Sequestration] test projects.
Yet many of them have continued to boost the technology, even as they have downplayed solutions showing greater progress.
For example, the same modelers who overestimated the potential of geological carbon storage repeatedly underestimated solar power — one of the energy technologies that would allow more oil to remain in the ground.
A distressing– but critically important– read. How the fossil fuel industry turned the plan to solve climate change into a plan to save itself: “Carbon Captured,” from @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social.
And as a reminder that, while climate change is certainly reason enough, it’s by no means the only reason to care: “Five Americans die every hour from toxic vehicle emissions, study finds.”

As we face facts, we might give ourselves a short break on this, the anniversary of “Raspberry Beret,” by Prince & The Revolution, hitting #1 on the charts in 1985.
Here is the official video (now in 4K). Directed by his Purple Majesty himself, it features graphics and animation from Drew Takahashi, George Evelyn, and the crew at Colossal Pictures.

#CarbonCapture : “They’ve promoted this idea despite the fact that for #CCS to work at the scale now envisioned, the world would need to devote almost unimaginable resources. Even if that were done, it might still prove impossible to trap so much #carbondioxide inside the earth.”

Reminds me of this meme.
(Originally by The Shovel in Australia?)

Der einzige Grund anzunehmen es könne eine gute Idee sein, Kohlenstoffverbindungen¹ aus dem Boden zu holen und unter CO₂-Ausstoß zu verbrennen, um Energie² zu erzeugen, und dann Anlagen zu betreiben, die viel Energie dazu benötigen, dieses CO₂ aus der Luft wieder einzufangen, um es zurück in den Boden³ zu verpressen – ja, das ist so bescheuert, wie es klingt – ist doch, daß an all diesen Stufen jemand was verdienen kann.⁴
Ja, wäre toll, wenn Carbon Capture ein wenigdazu beitragen kann, das aktuelle CO₂ zu binden, aber Aufhören zu verbrennen ist um Größenordnungen preiswerter.
__
¹Kohle, Öl, Gas
²Elektrizität, Wärme, Bewegung, …
³auch gerne genommen: Meeresboden
⁴an Solar und Wind hingegen verdienen wohl die Falschen (und Monopole sind schwerer zu bauen) -
You've been lied to. A tale in two graphs.
