A controversy about the Hammerfest LNG plant on the Norwegian island Melkøya raises questions about the affordability of post-combustion carbon capture and storage. Equinor wants to electrify its operations - and said CCS would be too expensive.
Who is “we”? I’ve never ever ever seen a carbon capture and storage demonstration that was even within an order of magnitude of the cost of simply reducing emissions, or planting trees.
CCS is a pipe dream being pushed by fossil fuel companies to justify inaction.
We need to be acting as if it will never work. Keep funding research, because it could be a way to fast track climate recovery, but on all other roads assume it does absolutely nothing.
