University of Houston’s Carbon Capture Breakthrough Cuts Costs, but Scale Remains Uncertain | Happy Eco News
The University of Houston’s carbon capture researchers achieved 90% CO2 removal at $70 per ton using membraneless technology; however, scaling faces challenges related to cost, policy, and infrastructure.

France Bets on Carbon Capture as North Sea Rivals Surge Ahead
France is accelerating carbon capture deployment, but structural weaknesses in transport, storage capacity, and political clarity threaten to slow its path to carbon neutrality.

Carbon Capture: Isolierte Atome ermöglichen grünes Methanol aus Wasserstoff - Golem.de
In Form von Methanol lässt sich Wasserstoff effizient speichern und kann direkt in Motoren verbrannt werden. Dafür muss er leicht verfügbar sein.

What happens if you offer generous subsidies💰 for Carbon Capture and Storage💨 - but you demand that projects deliver on time⏰?
In recent years, Denmark🇩🇰 has started a fast rollout of CCS technology. Unlike previous attempts, which were met with substantial resistance, this one happened without much opposition. A wide range of political parties supported the plans. 🧵

Denmark's CCS Strategy: Deliver or Pay
In recent years, Denmark pushed CCS technology and ran multiple tenders handing out substantial subsidies. But they came with a catch: either deliver on time or risk hefty penalties. What can be learned from the experiences in Denmark?

Study maps tree-planting risks and rewards for climate and biodiversity
Establishing forests can capture carbon and boost biodiversity — but some biomes are a better bet than others, a recent study finds. Forest restoration has emerged as a top nature-based solution to mitigate climate change, with numerous high-profile initiatives launched over the past few decades. And while there’s enthusiasm for replanting degraded forest areas, or […]

Fossil fuel industry's 'climate false solutions' reinforce its power, aggravate environmental injustice, study suggests
Many so-called low-carbon projects promoted by major oil and gas companies—including hydrogen, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, and carbon offsetting—operate as false solutions that not only fail to effectively reduce emissions, but also prolong the lifespan of fossil fuel infrastructures, entrench environmental injustices, and reinforce the political and economic power of the very industry responsible for the climate crisis.

Jede bislang bekannte Carbon-Capture-Methode¹ ist teurer als den in Kohle, Öl und Gas gebundenen Kohlenstoff einfach im Boden zu lassen, statt ihn mittels Verbrennung in CO₂ zu verwandeln, und stattdessen Energie anderweitig herzustellen.
Klar, wir könnten Pflanzen wachsen lassen, und dann unter Luftabschluß sagen wir in alten Kohlebergwerken so einlagern, daß sie nicht gleich wieder vermodern, und wenn wir sie ganz ganz fest zusammendrücken, dann passen da auch genug rein, um genau da…

This week: MIT cuts carbon capture energy costs, transparent window insulation slashes building heating use, and battery prices drop enough to make solar-plus-storage competitive at $65/MWh.
In South Australia, a 200 MW battery will help stabilize the grid for more renewables. Progress is happening now.

Colorado just released a roadmap for coal communities facing an uncertain future.
The state's new report shows how carbon capture, geothermal, hydrogen, and battery storage could replace lost coal jobs and tax revenue in rural areas. Wind and solar are already cost-effective, while emerging tech could create new economic opportunities.
