COP29: CCS is essential to reach net-zero emissions by 2050
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical tool for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, complementing renewable energy and efficiency improvements by addressing…
Four key lessons for socio-political acceptance of negative emissions technologies
Developing new technologies is a vital activity in our ability to combat climate change, and understanding how new technologies will operate in society is an important element of such technological development. In NCS C+, we investigated the socio-political acceptance of the four negative emissions technologies that are being examined by the project, and we identified four key lessons.
LCA as a tool for understanding environmental impacts and benefits of CCUS and alternative fuels: insights from the second LCA to CCUS & alternative fuels workshop
On 7 March 2024, the EU Horizon 2020 projects ACCSESS and ConsenCUS co-hosted the second LCA to CCUS and alternative fuels workshop. LCAs are highly relevant for understanding the potential of CCUS technologies to contribute to EU climate strategies and goals.
Studying Salt Structures in Australia to Enable CO₂ Storage in Norway
Siân Evans is a postdoc with the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS) at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo. In September 2023, she travelled to South Australia through the NCCS Mobility Programme to study exposed onshore salt structures as part of the effort to enable long-term subsurface CO₂ storage.
The significance of CCS in achieving net-zero emissions
This blog goes back to basics on our net-zero ambitions and why they matter, and breaks down the essential role that CCS and CDR have to play in reaching them.
