Carbon capture and storage needed for new coal-fired power stations
The Environment Agency has recommended that no new coal-fired power stations should be built unless they can capture and store carbon emissions. In its response to the Government’s consultation on carbon capture and storage, the Environment Agency called for faster progress on proving carbon capture and storage technology on a commercial scale. Lord Chris Smith, Chairman of the Environment ...

On-board carbon capture for cars
Capturing carbon dioxide at source from vehicles in the transportation sector and small-scale power plants could significantly cut overall carbon emissions to the atmosphere in the short-term, while playing a strategic role in the development of a sustainable carbon economy in the longer-term. New research suggests that it is feasible to capture and store CO2 emissions at the point of generation ...

China leading global efforts on clean coal
China is come a step closer to capturing and storing its carbon emissions with the launch of the GreenGen coal gasification plant in Tianjin, according to a report in Nature. Carbon capture and storage was highlighted by the leaders of the G8 group of nations in 2008, when they called for the development of 20 large-scale projects demonstrating carbon capture technologies by 2010. But with the ...

Statement by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry on President Trump`s Announcement Regarding the Paris Accord
"Today (6/1) the President announced that the United States will no longer be bound by an agreement unilaterally entered into by the Obama Administration. This was neither submitted to nor ratified by the U.S. Senate, and is not in the best long term economic interest of the United States. President Trump's decision will prove to be the right course of action and one I fully support. Instead of ...

Ex-Energy chief Chu joins carbon capture company
Former Energy Secretary Steven Chu is joining the board of directors of a Canadian company that says it has a cost-effective way to capture and reuse carbon dioxide from power plants fired by coal and natural gas. Vancouver-based Inventys Thermal Technologies says it has developed a process that it says uses less energy than conventional carbon capture techniques and is less expensive. A ...

Carbon capture milestone for CSIRO in China
The project represents another first for the CSIRO PCC program - the first capture of carbon dioxide in China using a PCC pilot plant. It begins the process of applying the technology to Chinese conditions and evaluating its effectiveness. PCC is a process that uses a liquid to capture carbon dioxide from power station flue gases and is a technology that can potentially reduce carbon dioxide ...

Driving down the cost of carbon capture
Post-combustion carbon dioxide capture technologies can already be used under certain conditions and pre-combustion separation uses technologies that are well established in other industrial sectors, such as fertiliser generation and hydrogen production. However, alternative technologies are being explored to further drive down costs and improve overall energy efficiency. New research has ...

Scotland told to hold off on new coal power until ready for CCS
Scotland, which has just issued a report extolling its potential for carbon capture and storage, should hold off on constructing any new coal-fired power stations until carbon storage becomes a reality, WWF-Scotland said last week. The government study, Opportunities for C02 Storage Around Scotland, notes that “evidence for climate change and its potentially catastrophic effects on the world is ...

Encouraging lower carbon intensity
T&E's Nusa Urbancic writes in today's edition of the Financial Times: The FT accuses the European Union fuel quality directive of being an “attempt to single out Canada’s oil as uniquely dangerous”. Poppycock. To do so would be political insanity, not to mention illegal. The EU law encourages oil producers the world over to lower the carbon intensity of their products. It ...

Support urged for North Sea carbon storage plan
The North Sea basin task force, a high-level British-Norwegian working group set up in 2005 to develop a joint approach to carbon capture and storage (CCS), has called for 'financial and other incentives' to encourage the deployment of CCS in the region. 'CCS may initially need to be supported by state aid up to 100 percent, breaching EU rules,' UK energy minister Peter Truscott said on a visit ...
