EU climate policy is dangerously reliant on untested carbon-capture technology
Europe’s ambition for emissions reductions is to be welcomed — but look at the detail, and significant hazards emerge.
yeah but it means we can continue to exploit fossil fuels for now in the hopes that some future technology makes it all ok
Untested AND fictional. And thermodynamically impossible
We can do carbon capture and especially in the last few percent it becomes increasingly harder to avoid emitting carbon. Land use can be extremely difficult. Steel production requires adding some carbon to the steel to change its properties. A number of chemical processes are going to be difficult to not emit. Having some carbon capture might be a good solution for that. Also taking out carbon to make up for earlier emissions might be cheaper then climate adaption.
