  1. Europe’s new weapon against carbon: burying emissions under the sea

    A first of its kind cross-border carbon capture project has opened at a fertiliser plant in the Netherlands.…

  2. "#Canada isn’t the only country asking taxpayers to subsidize this largely unproven, risky, energy-intensive and less-than-effective technology. The #UnitedStates, #UnitedKingdom and #Australia are also funnelling public money into #carboncapture projects...... It’s insane that obscenely profitable fossil fuel companies are allowed to continue putting all life at risk through unnecessary expansion of their deadly industry." davidsuzuki.org/story/clean-po

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Scientists at #ETHZurich in #Switzerland turned leftover #proteins from #tofu and #cheese production into tiny beads that trap #CO2 from the #air.

    The beads work at room temperature, can be reused many times, and when they eventually wear out they can become fertilizer or #biofuel – all while outperforming existing #carboncapture #technology.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ♻️🧪 Researchers at #Aarhus University in #Denmark converted #polystyrene from #Styrofoam cups, takeout containers, and CD cases into a solid material that captures CO₂ from #air and smokestacks.

    The two-step process adds amines to the #plastic, creating a sponge that grabs CO₂ when cool and releases it when heated for reuse.

  6. 📣 Attention Richmond! Developers are proposing a dangerous carbon waste dumping scheme that would extend across the Bay Area, affecting communities and ecosystems along the way.

    If you live in Richmond, help us urge the city to reject the proposed project and its infrastructure: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ur

  7. E-Fuels, il #gasnaturale #Rinnovabile & la cattura della CO2 sono delle balle totali.

    La compagnie di combustibili #fossili non si fermano davanti a niente per proteggere il loro modello di business.

    #EFuels, #Renewable Natural #Gas, & #CarbonCapture Are Deep Fakes

    Fossil fuel companies will stop at nothing to protect their business model.
