New research shows oxygen depletion in the atmosphere accelerating since 2003, coinciding with the biofuels boom; climate policies that focus exclusively on carbon sequestration could be disastrous for all oxygen-breathing organisms including humans
Creating CO2 takes Oxygen atoms from the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is the only way to deal with CO2 as it removes the Carbon from the molecule and returnes the Oxygen to the atmosphere so thet everyone to breath. In Carbon Capture, the Oxygen gets buried along with the Carbon. Conclusion:-with Carbon Capture, we are going to run out of oxygen one day and we will all suffocate.
BS, it takes huge amounts of energy to compress and inject CO2 under millions of tons of rock. Nature trapped oil and gas by burying organic solids over millions of years. It did not inject it into the ground. Findings enough stable geological formations that can be pressurized like this and not leak is verging on fantasy.
not true. they are out there, in fact there is room in the North Sea for something like 500 years of Europe's CO2 production. It's just a case of money and power. Politicians don't care about the next 500 years let alone the nex 50, they care about the next four, and they control the money spent on this. it's not as if the energy companies are madly keen on the idea of spending megabucks to make their profit margins smaller just to save a bit of CO2 from the atmosphere.
@Brucehh Energy = Force x Distance. You are going to somehow capture and pump all this CO2 to the bottom of the oceans and into the rock strata after you drilled holes in it against the bouyant forces of water and the presuure of rock? How much energy is that going to take? DO you remember how hard it was to seal the hole in the gulf of Mexico? How are you going to seal the holes you drilled to getthe oil out and put the CO2 in against this motile water soluble fluid.
@michalchik they've already been doing it for years I think you'll find! Carbon sequestration is a lot more complicated than basic physics and comes in many forms such as what is known as enhanced oil recovery. This involves pumping CO2 down into oil reservoirs not just to get rid of it, but to increases pressure and this helps produce around 15-20% more oil.. so it has economical benefits beyond reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. Also look up the Sleipner project - they've been doing it since '96
@Brucehh There is a big difference between a short term pressurization to push more oil at and hoping a water soluable fluid will stay in a rock for centuries after you have drilled a bunch of holes in it and fractured it to get more gas and oil out. Sleipner, looks a lot like greenwashing, First it is heavily subsidized. Second they say there is no leakage but it is a huge field that is underwater how do they know? CO2 dissolves instantly at those pressures. It also requires amines.
@michalchik not necessarily the bottom of the ocean, but buoyant fluids have been trapped in strata for millions of years, it's not hard to trap buoyant supercritical CO2. all that is needed is a low permeaibility caprock with a high enough entry pressure to provide a sufficient capillary barrier to impede the initial upward movement of the CO2, then capillary forces and solubility take care of the rest. there are no previously existing well bores to worry about in deep saline formations.
@rhythmCount I'll believe it when it is proven by experiment. I don't find the geology, chemistry, or energetics plausible. I don't see how the current projects could detect slow but very significant leaks. When they start injecting a bunch of carbon 14 into these wells and showing after years it does not come up. I might take them seriously. right now this has a believability level just a little bit better than a perpetual motion machine. BTW supercritical CO2 is highly mobile and penetrating
@michalchik 3-12 trillion metric tons of potential storage volume in deep saline formations alone. and it can be economically feasible to capture and store it, otherwise your government wouldn't be paying us billions of dollars to develop the technology
@rhythmCount The oil and coal companies get all sorts of cover from the US government. They contribute 100's of millions to political campaigns. These are political decisions not scientific ones.

1:03 "It converts the CO into Hydrogen and CO2". CO contains Carbon and Oxygen. How the fuck can you get Hydrogen from CO?

@microcephalec Because when CO combusts it bonds with atmospheric hydrogen?

once we build solar pannels on the moon it can power our world. safe clean easy power. no space wasted on earth.
