Visited a pretty big lime plant in 🇫🇷 today Such a cool, underrated industry with applications in so many sectors, possibly the most essential application for CCS Also, lime plants are hella dusty

Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

Just visited the oil museum in Stavanger 🇳🇴 which was … a cultural experience to say the least Norwegian “solar power”, kids supporting drilling in the Arctic and, of course, my personal favourite - a couple deriding CCS and senseless and expensive Highly recommend a visit!

Spot on summary on what @heimildin should have written about @Climeworks in their DAC piece. Also, journalists please stop interviewing professional troll @mzjacobson please and thank you
Since this Climeworks story is now ripping through socials, it's a good time for a little thread on the piece Early responses have all been dunking on DAC, but this is bigger than one technology What does the piece get right, what does it get wrong🧵 heimildin.is/grein/24581/cli…

There’s something deeply alluring about visiting industrial plants up close like this big cement kiln It’s such a lowkey innovative industry and one which will need large scale carbon infrastructure to make our buildings and bridges made for net zero

struggling to decide if the disinformation about apparent disinformation being spread about the Iberian blackout being linked to renewables is worse than actual disinformation being spread about the Iberian blackout being linked to renewables

Carbon capture isn't new or "unproven" Don't believe me? Take a look at this patent for CO₂ capture technology from 1930 patents.google.com/patent/US… Dozens of projects show we can capture and store millions of tons of CO2 each year, safely. This report should be put in the bin.

🚨 The Government has not assessed the impact on energy bills of Carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS). Additionally, CCUS may not capture as much carbon as expected, and the process may leak more greenhouse gases than previously thought.

There are decades of actual research, reports and analysis on CCS. This article takes four paragraphs to highlight one of the worst projects One which CCS advocates aren't fond of either x.com/EPernot/status/1694186…

Gorgon's a very complex, annoying situation - one which I blame on Chevron and the regulator for designing in terms of poor risk assessment in site selection, project design and licensing. It's a pretty obvious case of bad CCS imo and should be used as a ref for what not to do.

🚨This is the HUGE. Unless country carbon accounting is changed we will only reach fake net zero, resulting in 0.5C more warming end of century. The way countries account for removals in the land sector includes the natural CO2 fertilization effect on managed lands. That effect is already accounted for in carbon budgets, and is on the order of 4-6 Gt/yr. So if countries also account for that CO2 it means they are actually not reaching net zero when they say they are. There is a difference between UNFCCC and IPCC accounting rules here that enables this. From Myles Allen et als poster (and upcoming paper). Also the most discussed poster, but far from enough. #negativeco2emissions Thanks @brunncy for giving additional details.

(1/3) A carbon central bank (CCB) embedded in the ECB could be one design option to manage the transition to net-zero and later net-negative emissions targets in the EU and in particular in the EU ETS. @FelixSchenuit @MathiasFridahl

How could CDR be integrated into the EU ETS? In our new @kielinstitute policy brief, we propose a sequencing strategy for the mandate of a Carbon Central Bank as a key institution to procure CDR and facilitate integration. @wilmwilmsen @MathiasFridahl ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Dateiv…

I guess today is as good day as any to remind everyone that if you do #carboncapture and storage under the #EUETS, you don't get allowances for it. Instead, you don't have to surrender allowances for the captured emissions.
