Armond Cohen, executive director of the Clean Air Task force in Boston, Massachusetts, argues that Obama could attract conservative support for a strategic research programme focused on large-scale energy technologies such as carbon capture and storage
#Carbon capture technology could be vital for climate targetsthe future availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be pivotal in reaching ambitious climate targets according to a new comprehensive study of future energy technologies from IIASA the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change the Stanford Energy Modeling
To the extent that fossil resources are used to generate electricity the report says that the successful implementation of carbon capture
One of the most promising net-negative technologies is BECCS or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
But according to the GCEP report major technical and economic hurdles must be overcome such as the relative inefficiency of biomass fuels and the high cost of carbon capture and storage (CCS.
#Carbon capture breakthrough: Recyclable material absorbs 82 percent of its weight in carbon dioxiderice University scientists have created an Earth-friendly way to separate carbon dioxide from natural gas at wellheads.
and enable the economic production of gas resources with higher carbon dioxide content that would be too costly to recover using current carbon capture technologies Tour said.
The study's second most promising climate engineering strategy after carbon sequestration was carbon capture and storage particularly when the technique is used near where fuels are being refined.
