Mitsubishi Heavy Industries head of CCUS on carbon capture criticism

Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) has become a key pillar of UK decarbonisation, not just for decarbonising energy but for hard-to-decarbonise materials like cement and concrete. But this approach is not without its critics. The post Mitsubishi Heavy Industries head of CCUS on carbon capture criticism appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

Tomorrow's Build - Should We Build These Carbon-Eating Machines, 17012023

This video looks at carbon-capture and how the CO2 can then be either stored underground or even utilised for enhanced oil recovery or as a substitute in concrete

Just have a Think - Carbon neutral concrete. Can new technologies get us there faster, 02102022

Concrete accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions and it's usage is set to skyrocket in the coming decades as the world's population grows and moves towards more urban environments. So removing carbon from the process is a crucial part of the climate mitigation challenge. And now, several start-up companies have stepped up to meet that challenge

Engineering with Rosie - How Does Carbon Capture Actually Work, 20072021

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) form a major part of a lot of governments' net-zero plans and also roadmaps like the IEA's Net-Zero by 2050 roadmap that the published recently. But so far, we have had very few successful carbon capture projects, even though many smart and motivated people have been trying very hard for about 30 or 40 years.

Undecided - The Reality of Carbon Capture, 26072022

Carbon Capture has advanced a lot in recent years. As well as Direct Air Carbon Capture technology, there are some natural approaches such as Biochar and Enhanced Weathering that are starting to get attention that could not only sequester carbon from the atmosphere, but also improve our food production, reduce erosion, and many other benefits.
