" Record number of #FossilFuel #lobbyists get access to #Cop28 #climate talks

UAE-hosted summit admitted at least 2,456 people affiliated with #oil and #gas industries, analysis finds ... The figure calculated by the Kick Big Polluters Out (KBPO) coalition is a record number that raises further questions about the fossil fuel industry’s influence over this year’s #UN summit, which is being run by the president of the United Arab Emirates’ national oil company.

The scale of oil and gas influence in Dubai is unprecedented, with almost four times as many industry-affiliated lobbyists than the number registered for #Cop27 in Sharm el-Sheikh – which itself was a record year.

#Lobbyists vying to push the interests of oil and gas companies such as #Shell, #Total and #ExxonMobil outnumber every country delegation apart from #Brazil (3,081), which is expected to run Cop30 in 2025, and the host country, which registered 4,409 attenders.

Fossil fuel lobbyists also outnumber official #Indigenous representatives (316) by seven to one – another sign, say campaigners, that oil and gas industry profits are being prioritised over a sustainable planet and frontline communities."

Musings on Arctic permafrost.

The thaw is going to release ancient carbon. Depending how hot we let it get, low anthropogenic emissions less so, high levels let the release continue for centuries to come. See chapter 4 https://iccinet.org/statecryo24/

But I'm thinking: what is permafrost?
It's an ancient swamp, a bog. And thawing the bog also revives the bog processes.

So we're concerned about carbon release in form of microbes burping #methane while they're feasting on the old, dead plant material below the "water" surface.

But what about the other bog property, the one that hides new plant material under water = burying contemporary carbon?
It's a near-permanent drawdown of CO2. Just think about the well-preserved corpses archaeologists examine for clues on cultures thousands of years ago.
That's ancient CO2, safely hidden away from the atmosphere.

And Arctic permafrost is becoming such a bog again.
Yes, the methane release from microbes is bad.

But as long as thawed Arctic permafrost doesn't dry up, CO2 drawdown will occur as well, and in a place where it hadn't occurred before.

Luckily, CMIP6 sees a considerable, continuous rise in precipitation for the Eurasian permafrost region https://climatereanalyzer.org/research_tools/monthly_tseries/
So the new, huge bog is not at risk of drying out.
And some water from the thaw is also going to stay in the soil.

From what I read about permafrost so far, I do not recall that a number is put on the likely CO2-storage dynamics.

Only methane release from permafrost thaw receives numbers. Pretty big numbers, too. Depending on human emissions, 300-500 Gt CO2-eq per century, see the link above.
= +0.2 to 0.3 °C per century, (short-term heating from actual methane is higher).

But from lengthy discussions on Twix a few years ago, I recall that wetland/peat researchers aren't at all concerned about renewed methane emissions during re-wetting of dried wetlands elsewhere.
They argue that the expected new CO2 drawdown, plus ending CO2 emissions from the dried-out wetland (globally 2Gt CO2 / year),
outweighs the heating impacts of methane production.

To my unlearned mind, when I transfer this assessment to new bog activity in the permafrost region,
the thaw would even be a reason for re-joicing... 😱 😁 🖖🏽

I could have saved SwRI’s client NYSEARCH a lot of money by showing them this 1968 NASA report⬇️: solubility of hydrogen in liquified natural gas (methane) is well below 1% (≈0.06% v/v).

So it is basically impossible to store economically useful amounts of #hydrogen in #LNG.

#Carbon14: Another underestimated danger from #nuclear reactors

"There are a number of radionuclides released from nuclear energy facilities. This paper highlights carbon-14 for a number of reasons:

- Carbon-14 is radioactive and is released into air as #methane and #CO2

- Before 2010, carbon-14 releases from nuclear reactors were virtually ignored in the United States. Today only estimates are required and only under certain restrictive circumstances.

- There is no good accounting of releases to date, so its impact on our health, our children’s health, and that of our
#environment remains unknown, yet environmental measurement is possible, but can be challenging under certain
conditions.

- Carbon-14 has a half-life of over 5700 years and the element carbon is a basic building block for life on earth. Therefore, “it constitutes a potential health hazard, whose additional production by #anthropogenic sources of today will result in an increased #radiation exposure to many future generations.”

- Like #tritium, it can collect in the tissues of the fetus at twice the concentration of the tissues in the mother, pointing to its
disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable human lifecycle: the developing child.

The element carbon is found in all organic substances. Carbon is also a primary constituent of #GreenhouseGases that are responsible for #ClimateChange, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (#CH4). Carbon-14 (c-14) is a radioactive form of
carbon that occurs in nature and is also newly formed in nuclear power processes.

"Carbon-14 is a health concern because it is released from #NuclearPower facilities as radioactive carbon dioxide and methane, traveling readily in the local and global environment.

"Over time, carbon-14 becomes part of organic material including food, and has a half-life of approximately 5,730 years, decaying by a type of radioactive particle called a beta. Its hazardous life is 10-20 times its half-life, meaning that harmful exposure to man-made carbon-14 can last for hundreds of generations. The radioactive carbon forms as a byproduct of fissioning of uranium fuel, through a process called activation. The final step is a chemical reaction between carbon-14 and oxygen or hydrogen, which forms methane or carbon dioxide. The radioactive carbon-14 formed by this process is brand new and would not exist without nuclear fission.

"During its long hazardous life, carbon-14 could be responsible for gross physical or
mental defects, stillbirths and childhood deaths, embryonic and neonatal deaths into the many millions over the life of the isotope.

"These millions could be underestimated five times or more. Carbon-14 could also be responsible for #leukemia, bone and other #cancers."

@W_Lucht

Hey Wolfgang, sorry for OffTopic.

I've been searching on Umweltrat-de for information on the embedded CO2 in CCS.
You know, like, how much more gas has to be burned in order to capture the CO2.
And additionally, how much energy is required to make the solvent that goes into the CCS process, and how much energy goes into transport and storage.

This new-ish Greenpeace publication
https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/story/great-carbon-capture-scam/

says "10 to 40% more energy" is required, but then quotes this surprisingly old source from 2006... https://www.jstor.org/stable/48526261?refreqid=excelsior%3Af975048a0b74cc357bf303fa24ddce1f

This https://www.umweltrat.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/01_Umweltgutachten/2016_2020/2020_Umweltgutachten_Entschlossene_Umweltpolitik.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2
names Bongartz et al 2015 for
"Gleichzeitig sinkt aufgrund des Energiebedarfs für die Abscheidung der Wirkungsgrad des Kraftwerks je nach Abscheideverfahren , wodurch der Brennstoffbedarf erhöht wird."

I don't have access to Bongartz et al 2015. Do you? Where did their information come from, and is it publicly available?

The energy carrier used in a power plant itself is necessarily the same as used for power generation, I guess.
But the energy for making the solvent and for transport and storage of the captured CO2 might be from a different source, potentially renewable. So that's why I'd like to have this split into two parts.

If a CCS+gas power plant needs, lets say, 3x more gas to actually remove CO2 from power generation compared to a gas power plant without CCS,

this CCS+gas incurs 3x more methane leakage!
AND also 3x more CO2.
So a test installation that allegedly removes 1Mt of CO2 per year, only removes 330kt from power generation, and the remaining 670kt removed were CO2 from the removal process itself?
Or in other words, 1Mt removed leads to 2Mt emitted?

I think, this information must be out there in the public debate. Especially now when the Green's newly legislated gas power plants of 12.5GW have been increased by the new government to 20 GW.

CCS means more gas is burned. The removal efficiency is bad. The methane leaks alone are making this endeavour even worse than just burning coal.

Thank you for your help!

Greenhouse gas from livestock digestion in Equatorial Climates 🧵

Along the Equator, it mainly is sheep and bovines that account for methane emissions.
The biggest producers are Ethiopia and Sudan (South Sudan included).

Permafrost in climate change: Models predict #Arctic 's response to global warming

When the #permafrost thaws, microorganisms begin to break down the material. This produces greenhouse gases: #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) or #methane, (#CH4) which has about 28 times the warming effect of CO2 on a time horizon of 100 years. These gases also escape from the ponds and lakes, where a lot of #carbon is decomposed as well.

#CO2 #CH4 #CLIMATE

So ... #Cop28 #Dubai #Cop #UN cop-out? It looks that way. Here is a quick summary of comments from people in the know ... (largely from the #Guardian live-feed)
- Simon Evans of Carbon Brief, who notes that hardly any of the verbs in the latest draft global stocktake text at Cop28 actually ask for action.

- the #EU - “"We think there are elements in the text that are fully unacceptable,” says Ribera. “We want to have 1.5C being the safe space. We are going to fight for 1.5C. The current text provides some reference to the science, some reference to 1.5C, but it is not consistent with dealing with #energy. We need to get into deeper discussions with many other partners, and of course with the president. I cannot hide the fact from you that as it stands, the text is disappointing", said Hoekstra."

- ‘Epic mess’ – Bill Hare of Climate Analytics - The climate scientist and chief executive of Climate Analytics, Dr Bill Hare, has been to 27 Cops in person and attended the 28th - Cop26 in Glasgow - virtually due to Covid19.

He told the Guardian the text was an “epic mess” and there was “no way if it was operationalised that it would keep 1.5C in reach. I would say it’s giving every #FossilFuel exporter on the planet everything they need to expand #Fossilfuels production. They might not say it, they might have crocodile tears, but I think any country involved in exporting #coal, #oil or #gas would be privately very happy.”

- “It’s full of weaker proposals than we’d hoped, and internal contradictions,” said Tom Evans, at thinktank #E3G. “On the one hand, it talks of the need to limit temperature rise to 1.5C, to peak #emissions in 2025, to cut emissions 43% by [2030] and 60% by 2055. But all of those require concrete actions. What’s in this text doesn’t add up: you have a long menu of options on the energy section, [but] not including the clear, unambiguous #PhaseOut fossil fuels.”

- David Waskow, at the World Resources Institute, said: “This text doesn’t send the clear signals that are needed to avert the climate crisis. The suggested set of actions is merely a pick-your-own menu.”

- "Meena Raman, #Cop veteran and climate policy expert from the Third World Network, says that she’s relieved that it’s not totally biased towards the wealthy nations, and that there’s likely to be a diversity of reactions from the developing and developed world."

- "A more nuanced take by Bob Ward, the policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science - "This has the makings of an historic text, which recognises for the first time in the outcome of a United Nations climate change summit that the production and consumption of fossil fuels need to be cut and replaced by cleaner alternatives in order to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by mid-century. However, the text is too weak at the moment because it only suggests parties could, rather than should, reduce fossil fuels consumption and production. This should not be optional""

- ‘We need [phase out] in the text’, says Colombia minister

- Susana Muhamad, Colombia’s environment minister, said - “We need [phase out] in the text. We need to acknowledge that we need 43% reduction by 2030, which is not here. We need 1.5C. 2050 is too late. If we don’t get 2030, we don’t have 2050 and we don’t have 1.5C."

- Cedric Schuster, the chair of #AOSIS (Alliance of Small Island States) and a cabinet minister of #Samoa, said in a statement - “We are concerned that the process at this time is not in the spirit of multilateralism. As #SIDS [small island developing states], we feel our voices are not being heard, while it appears that several other parties have enjoyed preferential treatment, compromising the transparency and inclusivity of the process.

We are greatly concerned that this lack of a platform to air our views has resulted in weak language that will obliterate our chances of maintaining the 1.5C warming limit …

Finance and mitigation must go hand in hand. Developed countries must lead because they have the resources to do so, we call on major economies to take the lead here in finance flows.

We will not sign our death certificate. We cannot sign on to text that does not have strong commitments on phasing out #FossilFuels."

@GreenFire Both/and? #DiversityOfTactics Yes, there's a clear and strong priority on ending the extraction of #fossilcarbon in all its forms from stable geosequestration. Agreed.
Yet reducing the acceleration of #ClimateDisruption via the unnecessary enhancement of #CO2 into #CH4 in an industry that exploits sentient #animals is also valuable, all the more so because doing so is necessary in the fights to stop #deforestation and the loss of carbon-sequestering #wetlands.
The situation is too dire to ditch allies by insisting on a single approach. However, if you were just talking about your own focus, that's completely understandable, and I've also put basically all my efforts towards the urgent necessity to #LeaveItInTheGround. #EndCoal #EndFossilGas #JustStopOil #EndFossilFuelSubsidies

#Cop28 summary from the South China Morning Post #SCMP #HongKong - "Cop28’s watered down draft text criticised for omitting #FossilFuel ‘#PhaseOut

- Critics panned the watered down draft text that suggests ‘reducing’ use of #FossilFuels, and scraps previous call to ‘phase out’ #coal, #oil, and #gas.

Deals at #UN #ClimateSummit must be passed by consensus among the nearly 200 countries present.

A draft of a potential #climate deal at the #Cop28 #summit on Monday suggested a range of options countries could take to reduce greenhouse gas #GHG #emissions, but omitted the “phase out” of fossil fuels many nations have demanded.

#UN Secretary General Antonio #Guterres said a central benchmark of success for Cop28 would be whether it yielded a deal to phase out #coal, #oil and #gas use fast enough to avert disastrous #ClimateChange.

“That doesn’t mean that all countries must phase out fossil fuels at the same time,” he told reporters at the #Dubai summit, which is scheduled to end on Tuesday but could go on longer if negotiations drag on.

A new draft of a Cop28 agreement, published by the United Arab Emirates’ #UAE presidency of the summit, proposed various options but did not refer to a “phase out” of all fossil fuels, which had been included in a previous draft.

The draft deal listed eight options that countries “could” use to cut emissions, including by: “reducing both consumption and production of fossil fuels, in a just, orderly and equitable manner so as to achieve net zero by, before, or around 2050”.

Other actions listed included tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, “rapidly phasing down unabated coal” and scaling up technologies including those to capture #CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere.

One #European diplomat told #Reuters the new text was weak on ambition and read like a “menu where you can pick and choose your dish at will”.

A coalition of more than 100 countries including oil and gas producers the #UnitedStates, #Canada and #Norway, as well as the European Union #EU and climate-vulnerable island nations, wanted an agreement that included language to phase out fossil fuels, a feat not achieved in 30 years of the UN summits."
