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.

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…

we should definitely be focusing on Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS, not CCS like the PM calls it) and new oil pipelines and not utility scale battery systems on our electrical grids.

Fossil fuel industry's 'climate false solutions' reinforce its power, aggravate environmental injustice, study suggests https://phys.org/news/2025-12-fossil-fuel-industry-climate-false.html

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.

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.

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.

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.

Colorado outlines how clean energy could benefit coal communities
Emerging technologies like carbon capture and hydrogen combustion could help replace the economic activity lost after coal plants close, according to a

For those of us shaking our heads over the Carney/Smith deal, this seems relevant and… not terrible? https://www.readtheline.ca/p/ken-boessenkool-carney-and-smith
Yes, I know Carbon Capture is not actually useful (unless something changed?)
Yes, I know they'…

Ken Boessenkool: Carney and Smith adopt the Trudeau-Notley plan
I apologize in advance for the acronym hell you are about to read.

Europe just opened major funding for industrial decarbonization—clean hydrogen, net zero manufacturing, carbon capture.
Carbon removal is scaling too: 268,000 tonnes contracted in November across biochar, direct air capture, and biomass. Real projects, real revenue.
