'Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source. ... Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the reactor developed by the Cambridge researchers does not require fossil-fuel-based power, or the transport and storage of carbon dioxide, but instead converts atmospheric CO2 into something useful using sunlight."

🪤 A Compact Review of Current Technologies for Carbon Capture as Well as Storing and Utilizing the Captured CO2

mdpi.com/2227-9717/13/1/283

MDPIA Compact Review of Current Technologies for Carbon Capture as Well as Storing and Utilizing the Captured CO2With the consequences of climate change becoming more urgent, there has never been a more pressing need for technologies that can help to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of the most polluting sectors, such as power generation, steel, cement, and the chemical industry. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art technologies for carbon capture, for instance, post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, chemical looping, and direct air capture. Moreover, already established carbon capture technologies, such as absorption, adsorption, and membrane-based separation, and emerging technologies like calcium looping or cryogenic separation are presented. Beyond carbon capture technologies, this review also discusses how captured CO2 can be securely stored (CCS) physically in deep saline aquifers or depleted gas and oil reservoirs, stored chemically via mineralization, or used in enhanced oil recovery. The concept of utilizing the captured CO2 (CCU) for producing value-added products, including formic acid, methanol, urea, or methane, towards a circular carbon economy will also be shortly discussed. Real-life applications, e.g., already pilot-scale continuous methane (CH4) production from flue gas CO2, are shown. Actual deployment of the most crucial technologies for the future will be explored in real-life applications. This review aims to provide a compact view of the most crucial technologies that should be considered when choosing to capture, store, or convert CO2, informing future researchers with efforts aimed at mitigating CO2 emissions and tackling the climate crisis.

Despite claims for its ability to support regeneration of regional economies & (more dubious) claims it will help get the UK to net zero, it seems the Govt. is having second thoughts on large scale support for carbon capture projects; funding has already been allocated to two, but two more have been paused & previous supporter Ed Miliband seems to have decided the nuclear is a better be, if even more expensive!

Now, a further pivot to renewables would be good!

A consortium of six universities in the Gulf Coast region is using federal grant money and a growing network of teachers to train the next generation of workers in the energy industry — and to help combat climate change.

it's kat! 🇵🇸✊

think i'll be spending my dotage spearheading lawsuits against:

- legacy media for their blatant misinformation/propaganda
- GenAI for providing little of value whilst fucking over the habitability of the planet
- the UK government for selling the country to blackrock
- the UK government for taking £22billion from green transition & absolutely flushing it down the pan on carbon capture

if anyone wants to join me...

Antarctic krill trap vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere in the ocean floor through their sinking fecal pellets, a new study reports.

The annual amount is similar to that stored by “blue carbon habitats” such as mangroves, seagrass and salt marshes, highlighting the importance of protecting krill.

Mongabay Environmental News · Antarctic krill store massive amounts of carbon in the deep ocean, researchers findIn the icy waters surrounding Antarctica, small shrimp-like crustaceans called krill (Euphausia superba) swim in swarms of trillions, forming a biomass larger than the entire human population. Scientists knew these 5-centimeter-long creatures could trap carbon from the atmosphere in the ocean floor, but were unaware of the sheer scale. New research has now revealed just […]

New powder that captures carbon could be ‘quantum leap’ for industry

Just half a pound of the stuff may remove as much #CarbonDioxide as a tree can, according to early tests.
The powder is known as a covalent organic framework, with strong chemical bonds that pull gases out of the air. The material is both durable and porous, and can be used hundreds of times, making it superior to other materials used for #CarbonCapture.

"Well #BigOil in Canada had to be pushed back with legislation on #greenwashing because their claim repeatedly is 'we are leading the path to #NetZero by 2050.' This feels like an admission that everything they've been saying about #CarbonCapture & what's going to happen with #emissions isn't true."

"The grassroots is engaging in a form of #ClimateDenial that has really gone out of style. Industry is saying, in an effort to be able to drill as much as it wants for the foreseeable future, 'we WANT to be part of the solution, which is why you need to give us money to build #carboncapture

Sad* math.

There's just one way to avoid #PlanetEarth's looming #massextinctionevent: we need #energy at scales unreachable by any other means.

*(sad because the incentive to achieve it is wholly incommensurate with that essential effort heretofore**.)

**(beyond our diminishingly small happenstantial survival chance in recognizable form, no other ‘solution’ exists at this time.)
