Can Poland reduce its dependence on cheap and dirty domestic coal power?
Carbon capture and storage gets a bad rap from its associations with ‘clean coal’. But the technology could prove vital in cutting emissions from other industries like steel, cement and chemicals.
Many believe we can stabilise the power supply by asking customers to help - but there’s a problem.
The idea of clean coal has been around for 40 years, but remains a pipe dream.
Scholars of communications pick apart the rhetoric behind the ‘war on coal’ and explain why it ultimately benefits the coal industry.
The Norwegian capital shows other cities how it’s done, by setting out a tailor-made plan to reduce emissions to zero by 2030.
Despite advances in technology, carbon capture and storage could be unsettled by renewable upstarts.
Storing waste CO2 in rock? Results from a test site at a geothermal plant in Iceland show that CO2 mixed with water can be turned into minerals in locations with basalt volcanic rock.
An Icelandic trial shows carbon dioxide can be pumped underground and stored as rock.
Working out how Mars’s carbon dioxide was turned into rock could help with carbon capture efforts on our own planet.
Countries have signed up to the Paris climate deal, but they have not yet promised the necessary cuts to emissions.
New analysis reveals carbon capture at coal power plants is significantly more expensive than thought, making renewables and natural gas power generation more attractive.
New technique captures 78% carbon using molten tin.
A technology designed to reduce the effect of fossil fuels on the climate has received £1 bln in subsidies and has nothing to show for it.
For more than a decade the coal industry’s favoured response to climate change was carbon capture and storage, or CCS. CCS is still the main defence, but the absence of functioning projects is making it ever more threadbare.
New research shows that we’ll have to remove carbon from the atmosphere for any chance of keeping warming below 2C.
Countries will take emissions reduction pledges to international climate talks in Paris at the end of this year. Those pledges should also include funds for low-carbon R&D.
Divestment campaigns aim to halt the use of fossil fuels, but the climate can be also stabilized through ‘recarbonization’ techniques, such as reforestation and changing agricultural practices.
Carbon capture and storage – pumping CO2 from power plants underground – is required for dramatic cuts on CO2 emissions. Why is adoption of this technology losing steam?
