Why the oil industry's pivot to carbon capture and storage – while it keeps on drilling – isn't a climate change solution

Seven large-scale CCS projects have been attempted at U.S. power plants, each with hundreds of millions of dollars of government subsidies, but these projects were either canceled before they reached commercial operation or were shuttered after they started due to financial or mechanical troubles. There is only one commercial-scale CCS power plant operation in the world, in Canada, and its captured carbon dioxide is used to extract more oil from wells – a process called “enhanced oil recovery.”

In industrial facilities, all but one of the dozen CCS projects in the U.S uses the captured carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery.

This expensive oil extraction technique has been described as “climate mitigation” because the oil companies are now using carbon dioxide. But a modeling study of the full life cycle of this process at coal-fired power plants found it puts 3.7 to 4.7 times as much carbon dioxide into the air as it removes.
...
A National Academies of Sciences study of direct air capture’s energy use indicates that to capture 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide per year, this type of direct air capture system could require up to 3,889 terawatt-hours of energy – almost as much as the total electricity generated in the U.S. in 2020. The largest direct air capture plant being developed in the U.S. right now uses this system, and the captured carbon dioxide will be used for oil recovery.

Znovu jsme se nepřipravili. Že budou čísla téměř horší než na jaře, s tím jsme nepočítali. A měli jsme to předpokládat Za léto jsme mohli připravit lůžkové kapacity, dalo se pracovat s personálem tak, aby se někde navýšil. Tohle není poslední pandemie ani poslední krize. Čekají nás i jiné výzvy jako migrace a problémy způsobené změnou klimatu. A my bychom se na ně měli připravovat. Lidsky, materiálně i reorganizací zdravotní péče.

Teď je třeba vydržet a přežít to. Na všechno ostatní je pozdě • RESPEKT
