Friedmann: 40 global CCS facilities capture 60M tons of CO2 annually
“And we have deployed CCS on some 40 facilities around the world. We're capturing around sixty million tons a year and injecting it underground.”
Orthofer: Forecasts consistently overestimate fusion, hydrogen, and CCS progress
“So there's some sets of technologies that we consistently overestimated, and those are the technologies that are always just around the corner, but somehow they haven't panned out to the extent that we predicted. And those are things like nuclear fusion or thi…”
Solomon: New EPA rules require CCS on high-utilization gas plants by early 2030s
“The plants that they regulate as far as new gas plants Are combined cycle gas plants that run at over 40% capacity factors that will need to install CCS by the early 20 thirties.”
Emily Grubert: Cement may be the only sector where CCS is indispensable
“I think with regard to this category of CCS, I sometimes can convince myself that cement might be the only thing in this category where you need CCS to mitigate emissions from something.”
Emily Grubert: Climate policy should minimize overall carbon capture and storage deployment
“So in my view, I think we need to at least try to get to a world that minimizes the amount of CCS that we're doing, whether that is for mitigation or removal, and basically just because it's infrastructurally intensive, it's energy intensive, all of these kind…”
Lubershane: Economically viable CCS will compete directly with grid energy storage
“To the extent CCS becomes, you know, proven and economically viable, I think it serves as a competitive force on, you know, any of these opportunities for grid storage and for energy storage over time, because it, you It's probably the next best alternative.”
Bataille: CCS is essential for cement due to lack of alternative chemistries
“We're going to need it for cement because there are no alternative chemistries coming down the pipe anytime soon, and there's a lot of buildings that need to be built.”
Bataille: Technical carbon dioxide removal will reach 1 to 5 gigatons annually
“The key CDR technologies, in my mind, will be direct air capture with CCS, because what CCS does is it takes the CO₂ taken by the direct air capture unit and pushes it back underground, and probably some forms of geological weathering, and it's going to be a b…”
