CCS Carbon Capture and Storage – the facts.

Dear Oliver, You’re not alone in your scepticism! However, you’re wrong about the CO2 emissions. The reality is that coal +CCS as currently defined/mandated emits significantly less CO2 than NG CCGT without CCS (‘unabated’), because authorities in the UK (and most countries except Japan) are demanding c.90% CO2 removal from coal, whereas CCGT emits about 50% of the CO2 of ... »

Or call 201 871 0474 OVERVIEW Utilizing carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is not new, but a growing number of policymakers see it as an important part of the emerging carbon-management landscape. More importantly, injecting CO2 into EOR project... »

"These Fossil Fools" – Catherine Mitchell – excellent article in the Guardian on futility of market solutions to climate change

The UK's energy policy has to focus on lowering carbon emissions by a combination of renewable energy and reducing demand. This requires a system almost entirely different from that we have in place today: one that is conducive to innovation and change; and one that is flexible and resilient to all sorts of technological futures. »

Senior Energy Analyst reports on biochar as economic method of CCS

Hi Claverton, Just read this on bio-char. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/67843ec0-020b-11de-8199-000077b07658.html. Sound's good to me. At £9/tonne this seems a sizeable contribution to GHG reduction at a carbon price we already have in the EU cap and trade system. I think the silver buckshot Al Gore cites will have many such low tech, low cost solutions. For me making charcoal is an int... »

Use of bio char as a carbon sequestration method

More evidence that bio char is a good wheeze……… Abstract Abrupt Climate Change (ACC – NAS, 2001) is an issue that ‘haunts the climate change problem’ (IPCC, 2001) but has been neglected by policy makers up to now, maybe for want of practicable measures for effective response, save for risky geo-engineering. »

Chris Hodrien's CCS / Carbon Capture and Storage prediction comes true in US

  Chis Hodrien told us  all at the October Claverton conference at Wessex Water Bath. that gasification-CCS was poised to become reality! It is interesting that the States are all legislating in favour of gasification IGCC (having recognised its many advantages for new-build), the very opposite of the British Gov’ts post-combustion CCS bias. They also recognise the need for an “acro... »

NASA's Hansen urges Obama to abandon "inefectual" cap and trade

Reported in the Guardian, Friday 2 January 2009, by James Randerson, science correspondent, Professor James Hansen who heads Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and one of the world’s top climate scientists has written to Obama: calling for a tax on carbon which is fed back to tax payers, meaning no net burden on taxpayers  he also favours a Moratorium on and phasing out of co... »

Carbon Capture and Sequestration

- Just Another Panic-led “Solution” to Another Energy Crisis? By Dr F.Starr - FIMMM, C.Eng : Claverton: October 2008. This presentation was given at the Claverton October 2008 Conference and was intended to provoke discussion about one of the main downsides to the concepts of carbon capture. The issue in question is that carbon capture will increase coal demand by at least 20%, over what non-... »

Squaring the Circle on Coal – Carbon Capture (CCS)

By Chris Hodrien 2008 Claverton Conference Paper Synopsis: Huge global reserves of coal remain, well-distributed among relatively stable supplier nations, and its production is increasing. With the recent rapid increases in oil and gas prices, especially in the UK, it is again becoming the minimum cost option for power generation and heavy industry. Large thermal (steam turbine) powerplant is als... »
