"They're selling snake oil again. Carbon capture is a pseudo-technology that's designed to maintain the status quo. It barely exists outside a laboratory, but whole swathes of academics still continue to work on it. Almost no one is working on radical emissions reductions for climate emergency."

This CCS facility has been operational since mid-July, capturing between 4 and 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per day directly from the flue gas stream of Holcim’s Fujairah Cement Plant and injecting it deep underground into Fujairah’s peridotite and ultramafic rock formations. carbonherald.com/holcim-uae-a...

"the pilot project serves as a proving ground for commercial scale." So this isn't a scalable approach thus far, it seems.

I was pleased to hear @kevinclimate.bsky.social acknowledge the value of CCS for things like cement, bakeries, breweries and float glass factories. CCS has really just begun to be deployed and that is good but of course ditching fossil fuels is most crucial. carbonherald.com/cardinal-gla...
