A critical crossroad: Carbon removal market and policy landscape

The key issue for finding a balance between carbon removal sources and sinks in the move towards net zero will be to establish an effective carbon removal market and policy landscape, explains Antti Vihavainen, CEO of carbon crediting platform Puro.earth.

Decarbonisation throughout the value chain

Only a combination of decarbonisation approaches applied across the value chain will help industries and countries reach ambitious net zero targets, writes Chris Poynter, President at ABB System Drives. Electrification and improved energy efficiency will be the key approaches.

'No place for carbon removals in emissions reduction policies'

Reducing CO₂ must remain the priority for policymakers; removing it from the atmosphere and permanently storing it can only complement decarbonisation, not replace it. Policy expert with climate advocacy organisation Carbon Market Watch Fabiola De Simone explains.

(Carbon) credits where credit is due

Are offsets a licence to pollute – or an effective economic incentive to cut carbon? Finance journalist Jennifer Johnson looks at the need for unambiguous certification schemes.

Getting to know CO₂

The UK is developing three carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs, HyNet in Liverpool Bay, the Peak Cluster and the East Coast Cluster around the River Humber. They all envisage pumping quantities of CO₂ gas through pipelines. While those facilities are being designed and built, more searching questions about CO₂ streams – in terms of the physical plant, CO₂’s large-scale behaviour, and what are the maximum limits of impurities in the stream – are being tackled through fundamental research, reports New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Maximising the use of renewable energy for net zero

Pressure is growing for organisations to reduce their carbon emissions by maximising the use of renewable energy. But this comes with numerous challenges, particularly for industrial companies. Here, Jane Ren, CEO of Atomiton, a sustainability data and analytics provider, discusses solutions to these challenges.

Geoscience should avert a rocky start for carbon storage

Large quantities of CO₂ will need to be stored if carbon capture and storage (CCS) is to play a part in the energy transformation. Here, AGR’s Manager of Reservoir Engineering, Gudmund Olsen, explains how subsea sites are assessed for suitability.

Beyond carbon measurement: why businesses must apply the rigour of financial accounting to sustainability

Even the best-intentioned company may unwittingly undermine its own efforts and plans to reach net zero by failing to properly understand and account for its carbon emissions, writes Matthew Paver, Chief Operating Officer of Carbon Responsible. He advocates a more analytical approach.

Solid, gas and liquid: how carbon capture in cement production is becoming a concrete idea

A Norwegian cement plant has become the first to implement full-scale carbon capture, but developers of an alternative process aim to demonstrate a better way of removing carbon from the solid powder production line from emitted flue gas – with the possibility of later liquefaction, reports Will Dalrymple, Senior Editor, New Energy World.

Repurposing infrastructure for the energy transition

Costly and time-intensive to build, infrastructure is a key challenge of the energy transition. Repurposing existing infrastructure such as pipelines to transport alternative fuels such as CO₂ or hydrogen can help accelerate the transition while reducing cost and waste. However, repurposing infrastructure is not without its challenges. For both CO₂ and hydrogen, repurposing must be demonstrated not to compromise safety. New Energy Institute (EI) technical guidance aims to assist industry in this regard, write the EI’s Technical Manager, CCUS, Eva Leinwather and Technical Officer, Energy Transition, Chimwemwe Kamwela.
