Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods aim to reduce atmospheric CO2, potentially slowing climate change. However, their effectiveness and environmental impacts vary, with concerns about nature-based methods and the potential of ocean-based approaches for cost-effective storage.

The Green Shift cannot be just pretty words - it needs actions as well. This video from the construction site of our first industrial-scale plant shows that Vow Green Metals is in the actions-category! 🏭 🌿 #greenindustry #greenmetals

Visiting our Carbon Capture business in Norway today where we have some exciting developments ongoing. Carbon Capture will support the maritime journey towards net zero in 2050. #maritime #decarbonisation

What’s better than reducing carbon emissions? How about negative emissions.    With the Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 Hub, we aim to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Having been granted a 20-year contract by the Danish Energy Agency, the project will begin to capture 430,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually from our wood chip- and straw-fired combined heat and power plants at Asnæs and Avedøre from 2026. The carbon dioxide will then be shipped to Norway and stored in a reservoir in the North Sea.    The impact? Think of the annual carbon emissions from 200,000 cars. 🚗 It’s roughly like taking that pollution out of the atmosphere and burying it 2.6km deep below the seabed.    This is just one of many projects recently featured in our new innovation report.

Presenting the Katapult Ocean 2024 wave 🌊 Carbon Ridge Modular carbon capture for maritime shipping 🚢 Why we invested Maritime shipping contributes around 3% of global CO2 emissions and faces mandates to reduce emissions, such as the EU ETS. While bio-based fuels like methanol and hydrogen are promising, their adoption is slow due to infrastructure and production challenges. To bridge the gap, shipping companies need CO2 capture solutions. Existing technologies have drawbacks, such as high costs, energy demands, and space requirements. Carbon Ridge offers a more efficient solution using centrifugal contactors, reducing energy and space needs while capturing CO2. Their fully-automated, scalable system is ready for commercial deployment and easily integrates into maritime operations.

Carboncause and SINTEF Propel CCS Innovation Forward with the Landmark Greenpulse Project, Supporting European CO2 Reduction Targets Set in Murcia, Spain, Carboncause´s Greenpulse project is at the vanguard of connecting CO2 sources from hard-to abate-industrial emitters with sustainable geological storage solutions, marking a significant leap in Spain and Europe's CO2 reduction efforts. At its core, the project focuses on integrating groundbreaking measuring, monitoring, and verification (MMV) technology for secure CO2 removal, underpinned by an unwavering commitment to environmental integrity and water protection. SINTEF's (a globally acclaimed research institute in CCS technologies) contributions to the planning of the Greenpulse Project have been pivotal, offering unparalleled expertise in several key areas. The activities for the Greenpulse Project encompass a comprehensive approach to enhancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) through advanced geological analysis, modeling, and infrastructure design, ensuring effective CO2 storage and environmental sustainability. These efforts combine to establish a robust framework for project integrity, regulatory compliance, and ecological protection, reflecting a commitment to advancing CCS technology and reducing CO2 emissions. Carboncause and SINTEF are deepening their commitment to CCS innovation, focusing on a range of initiatives from geological modeling and environmental impact assessments to advanced monitoring and safety evaluations, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and environmental sustainability of CO2 storage solutions. Their collaborative efforts include pioneering site assessment methodologies and utilizing cutting-edge technologies to ensure project integrity and regulatory compliance. The collaboration between Carboncause and SINTEF not only propels forward the Greenpulse Project but significantly bolsters the site's reliability through advanced CCS technologies and comprehensive scientific research. These activities underscore a commitment to environmental sustainability and site viability, reinforcing the foundation of trust and innovation upon which the Carboncause and SINTEF relationship is built. As we continue to tackle the challenges of climate change, our partnership stands as a beacon of progress, demonstrating the power of collaboration in advancing global CCS solutions.

“The ‘world’s largest’ vacuum to suck #climatepollution out of the air just opened. Here’s how it works” Laura Paddison - Wed May 8, 2024 ““Mammoth” is the second commercial #directaircaptureplant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021.” “#Directaircapture , or #DAC , is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the #carbon using #chemicals . The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products.” “Climeworks plans to transport the carbon #underground where it will be naturally transformed into stone, locking up the carbon permanently. It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called #sequestrationprocess .” “The whole operation will be powered by Iceland’s abundant, clean #geothermalenergy .” https://lnkd.in/eX7j8WFv Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Minister for Climate and Environment Kai Mykkänen stated that without significant carbon capture, storage, and utilisation, it would be difficult to reach climate goals ♻️ 🌳 In Finland, approximately 28 Mt of biogenic carbon dioxide is produced annually from large point sources as a by-product of industrial wood processing and energy production. ⛽ Currently, there are around 15 projects planned in Finland, aiming to implement carbon dioxide capture. In these projects, the captured carbon dioxide will mainly be used for the production of synthetic fuels. How would we advance carbon capture and utilisation?

It’s a great day at CarbonCure Technologies! 🎉 We’re celebrating a massive achievement — 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ saved across 7.5 million truckloads of CarbonCure concrete! 🙌 This milestone was reached thanks to a network of innovative concrete producers around the world who have embraced our carbon utilization technologies. One truckload at a time, they’re helping us transform concrete from a climate challenge into a climate solution. 🌍 Half a million metric tons of CO₂ saved is equivalent to the carbon annually sequestered by 583,000 acres of middle-aged forestland – a forest that would cover roughly half of Grand Canyon National Park. It’s also equivalent to removing 119,000 gas-powered cars from the road for a year. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 Read all about our latest milestone here: https://lnkd.in/gGeQCCTS #Sustainability #Concrete #CarbonCure

Reducing the climate impact of our product transports is a key component of our global emission reduction plan. To advance on our action plan, we always test and evaluate new transport means, routes as well as fuel sources.     Our latest pilot is a three-month pilot project that sees to the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (a type of biofuel known as HVO100)- instead of fossil-based fuel, for all our products’ ground transports from Sweden to Germany, France, and the Netherlands. While the project introduces a new workflow, adding an extra supplier to our transport processes, it also sees a substantial reduction of the climate footprint associated with the transports mentioned. To compare the project's gains and pains, an evaluation will follow the end of the trial period.    #ClimateAction #ChangeCatalyst #CarbonFootprint #MedTech #NowAndForTheFuture
