A BBC article headline asked: 'Carbon capture: What is it and how does it fight climate change?' But a report last year found a Shell Oil project output more CO2 than it captured. The amount of CO2 such sites can capture is negligible anyway, and they're relying on 'hopium' to bring the high costs down. Given the lack of evidence of success of CCS installations, why is the BBC - or anyone - promoting it as a climate benefit? - - - The UK government has announced that the first sites in the UK to capture greenhouse gases will be in Teesside, says BBC News.
The carbon capture plants are designed to prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial processes and power stations being released into the atmosphere.
The announcement was part of the government's new Net Zero Strategy and aims to move the UK closer to meeting its legally-binding carbon commitments. . . . Why is carbon capture needed?
Carbon capture power plants are part of the government's commitment to remove carbon from UK electricity production by 2035.
