Eileen Claussen`s Statement on The Expanding Carbon Capture Through Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2014
We applaud Sen. Jay Rockefeller for introducing legislation to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS). The Expanding Carbon Capture Through Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2014 would reform and expand an existing tax credit to encourage the use of carbon dioxide captured from power plants and industrial facilities in enhancing production from existing oil fields. Carbon capture and storage is a ...

Making carbon capture more affordable
New research from CO2CRC suggests that the cost of capturing carbon dioxide from Australian power stations could be reduced by 25 percent. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has the potential to make deep cuts in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a major contributor to climate change, by capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions from major sources such as power stations. One of the ...

Borg CO2 selects Citec and COWI for CCS Concept Study and Technical Advisory Services
On behalf of Borg CO2, Citec and COWI will develop concepts for carbon capture infrastructure on a semi-industrial scale in Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and Halden in Norway. The aim is to verify how the Port of Borg can become an industry leader in Norway’s carbon capture initiative. The possibility of carbon capture and storage in Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and Halden is a step closer to ...

Carbon capture and storage: climate impacts
One proposal for meeting targets for the reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is to capture and store CO2 that is emitted by fossil fuel burning power stations. In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that carbon capture and storage (CCS) could help mitigate against climate change, especially in the short term. Using CCS, CO2 emitted from energy or industrial plants could be ...

DOE awards $84M for 18 carbon-capture projects
The Energy Department said Thursday it has awarded $84 million to 18 projects across the country to help limit carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. The projects focus on so-called carbon-capture technologies intended to limit pollution blamed for global warming. "Coal and other fossil fuels still provide 80 percent of our energy, 70 percent of our electricity and will be a ...

Is Carbon Capture doomed to fail?
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is backed by governments and the International Energy Agency (IEA) as one of the best methods of reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and saving the planet from overheating. The problem is that despite this enthusiasm and the fact that CCS (also called carbon sequestration) is technically possible, it is not happening. It is cheaper and easier to ...

Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage: A key enabler of carbon neutrality by 2050
The EU bioenergy sector is at the edge of technological innovations providing unique and sizeable solutions at a time of climate emergency. Drastic reduction of emissions is required, but it is not enough – there is an increasing need to capture carbon back from the atmosphere. Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) can achieve negative emissions by storing the CO2 resulting from the ...

Global Carbon Capture and Storage Planned Installed Capacity to Hit 10,000 Megawatts in 2020
Carbon capture and storage has potential to assume a core role in the energy mix of many nations. Countries like the United Kingdom are already planning and implementing new projects such as an online database to gauge how much offshore carbon dioxide storage space is realistically available. In Australia, the $208 millionCallide Oxyfuel Project has entered the demonstration phase and marks the ...

DNV GL Approves Carbon Capture Technology
DNV GL has approved as qualified, technology for a full-scale demonstration project in Norway to remove carbon emissions at a cement plant. Gassnova, the Norwegian state's agency for implementation of carbon capture and storage projects, initiated the project which will apply carbon capture technology developed by Aker Solutions at Norcem's cement plant in Brevik, Norway. Globally, the cement ...

Carbon Capture and Storage Market to gain prominence with the rising concerns over environmental degradation
Growing demand for carbon technologies to meet 20C scenario along with strict government regulations to curb carbon footprint will drive the carbon capture and storage market size. Product ability to reduce carbon emission by 85% to 90% makes its adoption preferable over other available alternates. According to New Source Performance Standards in the U.S., the new coal fired plant can emit 1400 ...
