Costain uses 3D printed concrete

Costain has used low carbon 3D printed concrete sleepers from Hyperion Robotics in work on the East Coast Cluster carbon capture and storage project.

Unlocking the true potential of carbon capture means diversifying the UK’s approach

The UK government has committed at least £22bn to construct eight carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, most of which aim to deploy conventional amine‑based CCS technologies. The post Unlocking the true potential of carbon capture means diversifying the UK’s approach appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

px Group wins carbon capture O&M contract

Teeside’s px Group has won a ‘multimillion pound’ contract to operate and maintain two facilities at the UK’s first commercial-scale carbon capture and storage project. The announcement comes as the wider project, the East Coast Cluster, celebrates £1.5bn in contracts awarded.

Just have a Think - Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), 27012019

BECCS (Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage) is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling. If it is to have the effect of keeping their models to well below 2oC of warming compared to pre-industrial levels then it will need to be implemented on a vast scale around the globe. This video takes a snapshot of scientific and journalistic analysis of this controversial proposal

DW Planet A - Why we need to ditch natural gas (asap), 08072022

Natural gas is abundant, versatile – and much cleaner than coal. It lets us keep the lights on AND reduce emissions. That's great, right? Well, yes. If it wasn't for one small detail: it's still a fossil fuel. 'DW Planet A' highlight that Natural Gas could be a bridge fuel, moving economies off Coal, but there is a risk of methane leaks. Ultimately cleaner alternatives need to be developed to transition off Gas, such as renewables (wind, solar), battery technology, bio-fuel and hydrogen

ICE President Rachel Skinner asks the big challenging questions that will turn climate discussion into Climate Action

TED - A new way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, 26072018

Our planet has a carbon problem -- if we don't start removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, we'll grow hotter, faster. Chemical engineer Jennifer Wilcox previews some amazing technology to scrub carbon from the air, using chemical reactions that capture and reuse CO2 in much the same way trees do ... but at a vast scale

OCC - Can Seaweed save the world, 06052022

This video looks at whether seaweed and kelp farming can save the planet and curb emissions. Seaweed farming has existed for centuries but it only recently has come into the spotlight in the imperial core for its potential to grow food and animal feed as well as suck thousands of tons of carbon dioxide and emissions out of the air. Seaweed farming could be an essential tool in mitigating emissions and drawing down millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and back into the earth.
