A great decision by Germany to prohibit as yet commercially unproven Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The World is running out of time to tackle man-made climate change and dishonest, ineffective approaches such as the CCS, ETS and “coal to gas transition” (gas is dirty and can be dirtier than coal GHG-wise) will simply delay requisite climate change action.

It’s believed that carbon capture and storage (CCS) from conventional power plants could reduce the amount of CO2 in the air by as much as 90 percent. However, it’s also believed that it could increase fuel needs of coal-fired CCS plants by 25-40 percent. Many are also convinced that applying the technology to existing factories that don’t serve as a good point for CCS will be more expensive.

Oil and gas companies believe that CCS will allow fossil-burning to continue unabated, but health leaders expose the potential for widespread human fatalities in the event of accidental leaks. How CCS works: CCS involves capturing the carbon dioxide released during the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which would be transferred through a network of pipes as high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide into deep underground geological formations.

Oil giants are looking into CCS to cut greenhouse gases. According to a study conducted by Australia’s Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Institute, there are currently 243 CCS projects in development worldwide, of which only 85 are large scale. As yet, only eight large-scale CCS projects are actually in operation. CCS makes sense for an oil company from a business point of view. If the pilot project succeeds, the entire oil field will be utilized for CCS.
