, Carney’s MOU with Alberta calls for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), purportedly to ameliorate environmental damage. But this is still a very costly, unproven technology. In Saskatchewan it has only achieved 60 per cent efficiency
Ccs is a scam. Cheaper energy than coal can be achieved 10 months of the year, in canada, with coal plant as backup. Much lower emissions than 60% capture, and bigger negative of ccs is that it costs 10$ per watt. Ballpark of nuclear plants. Solar + batteries is $1 per watt.
Yeah, carbon capture doesn’t math. I think the saying is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The only reason why it is promoted is because the fossil fuel cartels push it as it moves the blame and focus from them to someone else’s problem. Then a bunch of garbage “carbon credit” companies start up and make a lot of noise while doing basically nothing. All the while they can keep pushing for fossil fuel projects because “it’s fine, carbon capture will solve it”.
