Carbon Capture
Impurities in CO2 can corrode pipelines and storage facilities and potentially lead to huge liabilities for carbon capture projects.
Storage bottlenecks and a fragmented regulatory framework are the main obstacles to carbon capture and storage development in Europe, a conference heard.
The EU’s bet on carbon capture and storage could require ‘eye-wateringly high subsidies,’ and the technology also has a dismal track record, a new report finds. Heavy reliance on CCS could result in the EU badly missing climate targets.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has hit a roadblock in the UK after a group of climate scientists and organisations sent an open letter to the government.
