In #Recklinghausen startet mit #Remex das erste #NRW-Projekt zur CO₂-Speicherung in #Recyclingbaustoffen.
Mithilfe biogenen CO₂ wird #Abbruchbeton gezielt „carbonatisiert“ und als #Baustoff wiederverwendet.
Ziel ist es, #Emissionen zu senken und #Bauschutt als dauerhafte #Kohlenstoffsenke zu nutzen. Das Verfahren unterstützt gleichzeitig #Klimaschutz und #Kreislaufwirtschaft im #Bauwesen.
In the debates, Mark Carney made a commitment to end the federal government's subsidies of oil & gas. He also promoted the Pathways carbon capture project, which 'requires billions of dollars in public subsidies to proceed':
Yves-François Blanchet: I think people should be kept very informed about climate change, because we are in a very strange denial situation about climate change, which still exists and is very expensive. And [to Carney & Poilievre] I'm sorry to crash your party guys, but you are telling fairy tales. Clean oil and gas is a fairy tale. Large scale carbon sequestration (...) is a fairy tale. It does not exist.
A few highlights:
- Carbon Capture & Storage projects have been around for 50 years already
- so far, CCS captured just 0.001% of global emissions
- CCS does not impact the ~80% emissions from downstream use
- costs up to 10x more than reducing emissions with wind & solar
Carbon capture and storage is not a real climate solution:
Europe’s #CleanIndustrialDeal Needs More Than Just Ambition: The #CleanIndustrialDeal is a crucial step for Europe’s #decarbonisation, but its success depends on clear implementation. Policymakers must turn ambition into action to maintain #competitiveness and climate leadership, with #CarbonCapture #UtilisationandStorage (CCUS) at the heart of the Deal. https://www.euractiv.com/section/eet/opinion/europes-clean-industrial-deal-needs-more-than-just-ambition/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it
Scientists from our institution have developed a scalable method to produce porous graphene membranes that efficiently separate carbon dioxide. The breakthrough could significantly reduce the cost and footprint of carbon capture technology.

“[Some] efficiency comes by operating only when renewable power [is cheap]. By running at ideal times, the process avoids extreme energy expenses typical to power-to-liquid operations. What's more, the strategic electricity use doesn't strain the grid and avoids competition for valuable electricity”
Having long advocated for “seasonal" energy use, this is marvelous to see.
