The Government is relying on carbon capture and storage as a big part of its Net Zero plan. But will it work?

Answer: It doesn't work. It's a way for fossil fuel burners to try to justify their continued existence.

So they catch the carbon,heat it and pump it over great distances all energy free, or will they use renewable energy for that process, so why not bypass the fossil fuel and use the renewable energy directly?

This must the most ludicrous idea that anyone has ever come up with! Firstly, carbon is NOT a problem. Secondly, trees can and do remove CO2 from the atmosphere very efficiently. By allowing CO2 in the atmosphere to increase from the low levels of today, will allow plants to flourish, which will mean more food.

Its a big scam, stop it. Costs a fortune, CCS is a failure.

So I'm an energy professional. I've worked in oil and gas, renewables, and carbon capture and storage. I worked on one of the first CCS (carbon capture and storage) projects in the world (if not the first). So I'm, somewhat, of an expert.

Superfluid CO2 enhanced petrochemical extraction is not CCS - full stop. Its fracking with a different fluid, thats it.

Plants naturally capture co2. We should re-invest in what we already have, plants. Genetically modify plants to grow faster and take in more co2.

Putting the carbon in the ground is the only answer. But not w carbon facilities, instead with multiscpieces vegetation and multispieces grazing. Gabe Brown and Allan Savory have already proved this model across millions of acres. It's why the US congress had a special meeting w Gabe Brown this year. He has the answer. It's nature... nature is the answer.

Have more green plants esp trees to absorb the CO2 and store into soil or the sea water by natural way.

The Kemper plant demolition was on the coal gasification system which has nothing to do with the carbon capture apparatus functionality or economics. Whether the inclusion of that footage and mention with no explanation or context of the reason for demolition is gross negligence or bias/maliciousness on the part of this journalism, I can’t say.

That's a no. But whatever it takes to make a buck. That's what really matters.

Green Hydrogen and Ammonia could decarbonise hard to abate industries like Cement and steel production. Efficiencies are increasing with economies of scale, without governement subsidies. Twiggy is absolutely clear in his strategy and is taking meaningful action right now.

What effect does carbonated water have on sandstone? What happens when the store is subducted or uplifted and eroded? Or we don't care because we will be dead?
