CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, een van de natte dromen van, bijvoorbeeld minister Soppie, blijkt haalbaar noch betaalbaar.

I've never been impressed by Michael Jacobs, a fake environmentalist in my view. And this confirms my opinion.

Carbon capture and storage could make the Rosebank site compatible with UK net zero commitments – if its owners are willing to pay the price, says economist Michael Jacobs

Carbon storage could curb more than 90% of AI data center emissions, study finds
As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for computing power across the U.S., a new study co-authored by Hon Chung Lau, adjunct professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University and founder of Low Carbon Energies LLC, has found that carbon capture and storage could play a major role in limiting the climate impact of data centers.

Science Matters - Clean power pathways beat carbon capture
from David Suzuki
We know that spewing greenhouse gases into the air, mainly by burning fossil fuels, is the primary driver of rapidly accelerating global heating, and that carbon dioxide can remain in the atmosphere for thousands of years. Some, however, is taken up by plants, soil and water as part of the carbon cycle.
Does that mean using technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere is a viable or necessary clima…

I remember discussions about US subsidies for CCS as far back as 2003 - accompanied by promises that this was THE SOLUTION. The technology for carbon capture is much older. And it still is not "mature" as a means of addressing #ClimateChange. Why do governments keep wasting money on this? None of the projects have delivered as promised.

If the real aim were to cut emissions, we would push fossil fuel use in the electricity sector down to zero, and scale up renewables and battery storage instead. The net effect? Much lower climate impacts and much lower bills. Instead, the programme will greatly ramp up both. Why?

Confused about carbon capture? Experts explain why we need different types
Carbon dioxide removal is different to carbon capture, utilisation and storage. It’s easy to confuse the two processes but they tackle different problems.

Subsoil acidity causes long delays in inorganic carbon sequestration by Enhanced Weathering

Abstract: While a looming atmospheric CO$_2$ overshoot calls for immediate carbon sequestration, delays associated to Enhanced Weathering (EW) carbon dioxide removal are being investigated. Topsoil acidity is already known to delay EW carbon sequestration, but subsoil acidity remains underexplored. Using century-long agricultural liming of formerly acidic heathland as a proxy for EW, this study provides empirical evidence of subsoil-imposed delays. Below such limed terrain, we observed a downward-progressing front of topsoil-produced alkalinity that still requires 30-100 years to penetrate the approximately 5 m thick acidic sandy unsaturated zone and reach the groundwater table. Subsoil acidity thus may cause beyond-reasonable delays, prohibiting EW as a viable short-term carbon capture strategy even on topsoils made non-acidic by preceding liming. When planning EW schemes, the amounts of stored acidic cations in top- and subsoil, as well as the rate and composition of infiltrating water, controlling the duration of the delay, require careful assessment.
