CO2 emission

Drax Group, a renewables company has agreed to a long-term contract with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for letting them use its carbon capture and storage technology. Drax will use MHI’s carbon capture technology to remove emissions from its power station at Selby, North Yorkshire in the UK. Once operational, this will be the largest execution of negative emissions in a power plant anywhere in the world.

HeidelbergCement will integrate a carbon capture and storage facility at its cement plant in Slite, Sweden. The CCS facility will allow it to capture approximately 1.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. This capacity is enough to absorb the plant’s entire emissions, making it the first factory to produce cement while emitting net zero emissions. In addition to employing CCS technology, HeidelbergCement also plans to increase its use of fuels made with biomass. While the CCS facility at HeidelbergCement AG’s factory at Brevik is expected to be operational by 2024, the new one at Slite will be ready for deployment in 2030.

An academic-industrial partnership based in Iceland, CarbFix has developed a novel approach to capturing and storing carbon emissions by capturing them in water and injecting them into subsurface basalts which converts them into stone. Once in the subsurface, the injected carbon dioxide reacts with the host rock forming stable carbonate minerals, thus providing for the safe, long-term storage of the captured gas.

The European Commission is expected to release its much anticipated policy document on 12 areas of climate change in July this year. The revamped climate change policies are designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions faster. One of the areas where the EU is focusing its efforts is change in energy regulations. Kadri Simson, the Energy Commissioner of the EU stated that promoting power purchase agreements in renewable energy and pushing sectors to integrate cleaner sources of energy such as wind, solar or bioenergy will be a focal point of the policies.
