#DCC and #CCS are completely different animals though. Some kind of DCC will likely be necessary to reduce the amount of CO₂ we’ve already pumped into the atmosphere. Continuing research and development on that front should absolutely continue however at the moment it’s a long way from being viable, that’s why it’s important to turn off the faucet before we reach for the mop.

CCS is what the oilcos are pitching, which is more about capturing a waste product from their process and literally injecting it back into the ground in order to extract more oil. Somehow this is going to benefit us. 🤨

Wanted to share a little recap of my holiday yesterday. Wifey & daughter caught a ride in the morning with her parents to a family lake house. I stayed home for a bit longer with the pups. It’s not fair to them to be alone ALL day, in total they were alone 8 hours. Same as a work day.

Stopped to charge my #EV 3/4 of my way there, just to give myself plenty of juice for the return trip. Saw a 2025 #Ioniq5 with #NACS port built in. The irony, he was using an adapter at a #CCS station

#DACCS, #CCS, Blauer #Wasserstoff, #EFuels sind Betrug

Genau diese Technologien stellt auch die neue Bundesregierung – insbesondere Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina #Reiche – in den Mittelpunkt ihrer sogenannten #Klimapolitik, anstatt konsequent den vollständigen Ausbau hin zu 100 % Erneuerbaren Energien voranzutreiben.

Mongabay Environmental News · Carbon capture projects promise a climate fix — and a fossil fuel lifelineThe Kasawari gas field, off the coast of Malaysian Borneo, was discovered in 2011 and has been seen as a lifeline for the country’s energy dreams. Malaysia has long depended on oil and gas exports for economic expansion and government revenue, and this new field promised to allow state-owned oil company Petronas and its partners […]

Carbon Capture ‘Not Going to Happen,’ Top Fossil Fuel Advocate Predicts

“In realistic terms, I don’t think it’s ever going to happen,” he added, referring to the prospect of prices for the technology coming down low enough that it can be rapidly and cost-efficiently deployed worldwide.

Hey Wolfgang, sorry for OffTopic.

I've been searching on Umweltrat-de for information on the embedded CO2 in CCS.
You know, like, how much more gas has to be burned in order to capture the CO2.
And additionally, how much energy is required to make the solvent that goes into the CCS process, and how much energy goes into transport and storage.

This new-ish Greenpeace publication
greenpeace.org/aotearoa/story/

says "10 to 40% more energy" is required, but then quotes this surprisingly old source from 2006... jstor.org/stable/48526261?refr

This umweltrat.de/SharedDocs/Downlo
names Bongartz et al 2015 for
"Gleichzeitig sinkt aufgrund des Energiebedarfs für die Abscheidung der Wirkungsgrad des Kraftwerks je nach Abscheideverfahren , wodurch der Brennstoffbedarf erhöht wird."

I don't have access to Bongartz et al 2015. Do you? Where did their information come from, and is it publicly available?

The energy carrier used in a power plant itself is necessarily the same as used for power generation, I guess.
But the energy for making the solvent and for transport and storage of the captured CO2 might be from a different source, potentially renewable. So that's why I'd like to have this split into two parts.

If a CCS+gas power plant needs, lets say, 3x more gas to actually remove CO2 from power generation compared to a gas power plant without CCS,

this CCS+gas incurs 3x more methane leakage!
AND also 3x more CO2.
So a test installation that allegedly removes 1Mt of CO2 per year, only removes 330kt from power generation, and the remaining 670kt removed were CO2 from the removal process itself?
Or in other words, 1Mt removed leads to 2Mt emitted?

I think, this information must be out there in the public debate. Especially now when the Green's newly legislated gas power plants of 12.5GW have been increased by the new government to 20 GW.

CCS means more gas is burned. The removal efficiency is bad. The methane leaks alone are making this endeavour even worse than just burning coal.

Thank you for your help!

Schweizer CO₂-Pionier Climeworks steht vor Massenentlassung

Das Schweizer Unternehmen #Climeworks gilt als Vorzeigeprojekt für technische Lösungen im Kampf gegen die #Erderwärmung. Jetzt steckt das ETH-Spin-off in einer Krise.

Das Schweizer #StartUp Climeworks filtert mit seinen Maschinen #CO₂ direkt aus der Luft. Mit dieser Idee hat das Unternehmen nicht nur internationale Anerkennung gewonnen, sondern auch rund 810 Millionen US-Dollar an Investorengeldern. Nun aber muss Climeworks Angestellte entlassen.

In #Island betreibt Climeworks zwei Anlagen. Beide sollten Vorzeigeprojekte sein, doch die Realität hinkt hinterher. Laut dem isländischen Investigativjournalisten Bjartmar Alexandersson liegen beide weit unter den Versprechungen: «Wir haben herausgefunden, dass die Zahlen keinen Sinn ergeben. Sie behaupten, mehr CO₂ einzufangen, als sie tatsächlich tun.»
Eine der Anlagen solle fähig sein, über 36’000 Tonnen pro Jahr aus der Atmosphäre einzufangen. Im ersten Jahr waren es laut dem Journalisten nur 105 Tonnen.

Laut #SRF hat das Unternehmen ein Konsultationsverfahren eingeleitet – ein Schritt, der #Massenentlassungen vorausgeht. Mindestens 10 Prozent der 498 Angestellten wird gekündigt. Laut dem Unternehmen werden es wohl deutlich mehr als 10 Prozent sein.
