Denmark is all set to become the first nation in the world to bury CO2 imported from abroad as it has launched a project on Wednesday to store carbon ...

It is liquefied and transported by ship or pipelines, and then stored in reservoirs like geological cavities or exhausted oil and gas fields. This is where the project is developed and demonstrated. The project has 23 Danish and international partners who contribute expertise from transport, storage and monitoring of CO2 in the underground.

The 2021 infrastructure law, which included billions in funding for carbon capture demonstration and pilot projects, could change that number dramatically.

The pipeline would be able to transport [12 million tons](https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/17077-carbon-dioxide-pipelines-unearth-anxiety-in-farm-country) of CO2 worth $600 million per year in tax credits. For it to stay in the supercritical state, the CO2 would need to remain above [88 degrees Fahrenheit](https://www.eenews.net/articles/midwest-co2-pipeline-rush-creates-regulatory-chaos/), which would not be the case throughout the pipeline’s traverse. The [$4.5 billion project](https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/17077-carbon-dioxide-pipelines-unearth-anxiety-in-farm-country) is planned to include about 2,000 miles of pipeline in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota, with the sequestration site where liquid CO2 will be injected underground in North Dakota. [Navigator’s over $2 billion project](https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/15994-carbon-capture-pipelines-proposed-for-midwest-states) would stretch across Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota and Illinois and would sequester up to [15 million tons of CO2 annually](https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/17077-carbon-dioxide-pipelines-unearth-anxiety-in-farm-country) worth $750 million in tax credits from ethanol and fertilizer plants. The projects also face resistance from landowners and environmentalists who question the value of carbon capture and sequestration in fighting climate change, and object to the prospect that some of the companies might seek to condemn land under eminent domain. DOT’s PHMSA currently regulates supercritical CO2, but the CO2 pipelines do not keep CO2 at supercritical temperatures for the entire route and natural gas pipelines converting to CO2 also do not. According to some analysts, as many as [65,000](https://www.eenews.net/articles/midwest-co2-pipeline-rush-creates-regulatory-chaos/) miles of carbon pipelines will be needed for the country to reach net-zero emissions by 2050—a goal of President Biden. [5,000 miles](https://www.eenews.net/articles/midwest-co2-pipeline-rush-creates-regulatory-chaos/) of carbon dioxide pipelines in the United States, used mostly to inject it underground to move oil to the surface through enhanced oil recovery. [largely unregulated](https://www.eenews.net/articles/midwest-co2-pipeline-rush-creates-regulatory-chaos/). In January, the Illinois Commerce Commission, which is weighing approval of Navigator’s project, sent a request asking PHMSA whether the federal agency would regulate the pipeline once built and to what extent PHMSA inspects such pipelines. PHMSA has begun an overhaul of its existing rules, with a first draft expected [around October 2024](https://www.eenews.net/articles/midwest-co2-pipeline-rush-creates-regulatory-chaos/).

(Bloomberg) -- European industrial companies injected carbon dioxide below Denmark's seabed for the first time on Wednesday as executives warned that the ...

The CO2 storage capacity in the North Sea is well over 200 billion tons, according to BloombergNEF. While carbon capture has been used extensively by the oil and gas industry to enhance production, storing CO2 below the sea has only been tried in a handful of small pilots and so is relatively untested. Denmark has earmarked €1.1 billion for carbon capture and storage technology, with billions more promised in the Netherlands and the UK. You have a solution for CO2 in place, you have the regulatory framework in place. Using an existing oil platform, the CO2 is injected in liquid form about 2 kilometers below the seabed. CO2 was pumped more than a mile below a North Sea oil field to be stored permanently, safely away from the atmosphere.

The cross-border transport required a bilateral agreement between Belgium and Denmark, as cross-border transport of CO2 for subsea storage is otherwise prohibited.

And a first tendering project for capturing CO2 in Denmark will launch "in the months to come", with more to follow, Danish energy minister Lars Aagaard said. It is a global first in for cross-border offshore CO2 storage to mitigate climate change, Ineos said.

Meanwhile, the world's number one “sink” for carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is the ocean, which soaks up some 30 to 40 percent of all of the gas produced by ...

The team expects that the system could be ready for a There, the carbon dioxide removal could be a simple add-on to existing processes, which already return vast amounts of water to the sea, and it would not require consumables like chemical additives or membranes. “You’ll run out of markets for all the products you produce, so no matter what, a significant amount of the captured CO2 will need to be buried underground.” In direct air-capture systems it is first necessary to capture and concentrate the gas before recovering it. The reinjection of alkaline water could be done through dispersed outlets or far offshore to avoid a local spike of alkalinity that could disrupt ecosystems, they say. Eventually, it could lead to a deployment of free-standing carbon removal plants distributed globally. “We’re not going to be able to treat the entire planet’s emissions,” Varanasi says. Reactive electrodes are used to release protons to the seawater fed to the cells, driving the release of the dissolved carbon dioxide from the water. The existing methods for removing carbon dioxide from seawater apply a voltage across a stack of membranes to acidify a feed stream by water splitting. Meanwhile, the world’s number one “sink” for carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is the ocean, which soaks up some 30 to 40 percent of all of the gas produced by human activities. Recently, the possibility of removing carbon dioxide directly from ocean water has emerged as another promising possibility for mitigating CO2 emissions, one that could potentially someday even lead to overall net negative emissions. Now, a team of researchers at MIT says they may have found the key to a truly efficient and inexpensive removal mechanism.

“Mold cleaning is the bread and butter of blasting dry ice,” he added. “There are a number of opportunities in Europe that can be exploited. “The challenge here was moving quickly and pouring dry ice in big scales. “Some of the most successful applications of blasting is it food processing equipment,” he explained. It requires 2.2kg of LCO2 to make 1kg dry ice. “Another project we are looking at is for the cement industry,” he added. “The advantage is that you can clean the molds in the press, you don’t need to disassemble; dry ice has proven to be a premium preventative medium for mold cleaners.” To limit CO2 emissions, many companies are using capture, utilisation and storage within their sustainability targets. “Dry ice blasting can clean it efficiently and fast without using water and chemicals, allowing you to clean it on site.” “We have concentrated in our company to do only amine technology and membranes, we believe it is the most reliable technology you can have.” “When it comes to the process, we want to remove VOCs, we compress the biogas, run it through the first membrane system, then another membrane system and we achieve the great quality that we need.” The company uses a variety of different metals to make catalysts for a range of hydrogen applications including electrolysers and fuel cells, including hydrogen purification.

[according to the International Energy Agency](https://www.iea.org/reports/direct-air-capture). “I’ve argued consistently that basically the only way this will ever happen at the scale it needs to happen is if it’s made a licensing condition of continuing to sell fossil fuels,” he says. But further research is needed to understand how the material performs on an industrial scale after absorbing and releasing CO2 hundreds of times, he says. “[The] ability to store directly into seawater is also very powerful, because the very deep ocean has an immense capacity for accessible CO2 storage lasting hundreds to thousands of years.” This can then be safely stored in the ocean, which represents an “infinite sink” for captured CO2, the team suggests. “This material can be produced at very high capacity very rapidly,” says SenGupta.

According to the IEA, there are currently 18 direct air capture plants in operation around the world. They're located in Europe, Canada, or the US, ...

The IEA’s 2022 [report](https://www.iea.org/reports/direct-air-capture-2022) on the technology estimates we’ll need to be capturing 85 million metric tons by 2030 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. But would all that be enough to make direct air capture worthwhile, and truly put a dent in atmospheric CO2? That means a lot of air needs to be blown through the sorbent filters for them to capture just a little CO2. If we’re to reach a point where direct air capture is a true solution, it will take many more baby steps—like this one—to get there. The team reported that one kilogram of their material was able to absorb 5.1 mol of CO2; in comparison, most solid sorbents currently in use for DAC have absorption capacities of 1.0 to 1.5 mol per kilogram. “Such a sequestration technique will also eliminate the energy needed for pressurizing and liquefying CO2 before deepwell injection.” This method would be most relevant in locations close to an ocean where geological storage—that is, injecting CO2 underground to turn it into rock—isn’t possible. Indeed, when you consider the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere relative to the amount that any single DAC plant—or many of them collectively—can capture, and hold that up against their cost, it seems a bit silly to even be trying. The filters need to be heated and placed under a vacuum to release the CO2, which must then be compressed under extremely high pressure. Using this newly-created material in large-scale carbon capture operations could be a game-changer. A team from Lehigh University and Tianjin University have made one such breakthrough, developing a material they say can capture three times as much carbon as those currently in use. The CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere is very diluted; according to the paper’s authors, its average concentration is about 400 parts per million. They’re located in Europe, Canada, or the US, and most of them use the CO2 for commercial purposes, with a couple storing it away for all eternity.

But further government help is needed to create frameworks and policy for the CCS sector, for both the capture and storage aspects, executives said.

The cross-border transport required a bilateral agreement between Belgium and Denmark, as cross-border transport of CO2 for subsea storage is otherwise prohibited by the London Protocol.

"Denmark is likely to become one of the carbon sinks of the world", owing to CCS, Gilvary said. The Danish government awarded Wintershall and Ineos a CO2 storage permit for the pilot phase last month. The Danish government awarded the project a grant of around €25mn ($26mn), which allowed the companies to complete the pilot phase, Ineos said. The first storage is of around 15,000 t/CO2, to prove viability, the consortium said.

Europe News: The CO2 graveyard, where the carbon is injected to prevent further warming of the atmosphere, is on the site of an abandoned oil field.

In neighbouring Norway, carbon capture and storage facilities are already in operation to offset domestic emissions but the country will also be receiving tonnes of liquefied CO2 in a few years' time, transported from Europe by ship. But unlike other projects that store CO2 emissions from nearby industrial sites, Greensand distinguishes itself by bringing in the carbon from far away. Led by British chemical giant Ineos and German oil company Wintershall Dea, the "Greensand" project is expected to store up to eight million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030.

"What is clever about this is that the starting point was a technology previously designed for applications in water. Storing it under the ground or sea in former oil wells is one widely used approach. I am optimistic that it can do this." Climeworks in Switzerland is perhaps the best known. Over the past ten years it has developed machines to suck in the air from the atmosphere that filter and trap the carbon dioxide molecules. A new way of sucking carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists.

Scientists agree that we're going to need to build machines to suck carbon from the sky to stave off the worst impacts of climate change — but.

Sengupta said his team will be looking for support in testing out their new material on a larger scale. Filtering out CO2 from everyday, regular air, on the other hand, where the CO2 is more diluted, requires a lot of energy and a lot of money. The addition of copper gave this sorbent another advantage: the possibility of storing CO2 in the ocean in addition to underground. Obviously, there are a lot of questions raised by some of this research. When the CO2-saturated copper-amine material was brought in contact to seawater in the lab, it converted the captured CO2 into what is essentially baking soda. [fewer than two dozen direct air capture plants](https://www.iea.org/reports/direct-air-capture) currently operating in the world, pulling just thousands of tons of CO2 each year at a steep cost. “Amine means they have nitrogen atoms,” said Arup Sengupta, a professor of engineering at Lehigh University and a co-author of the paper. And even if the resin created by Sengupta and his team significantly improves the productivity of the world’s DAC systems, there are still a lot of What the researchers did was add copper to an amine-based sorbent, a pairing that is pretty well-known in chemistry.

While we don’t have a Net Zero target, it’s definitely in our mind all the time – we ran the numbers, and the amount CDR Shopify will need by 2030 is well above the current supply available today, and we’re just one company, so that further indicates the need to be buying CDR now. In tests, the new hybrid absorbing material was able to take in three times as much CO2 as existing substances. “But there was just no supply so we set out to be a demand signal,” he said.

The agency's proposal to quadruple the value of carbon might not strengthen regulations, cut fossil fuel production on federal lands or make buying.

“And there the social cost of carbon could factor prominently.” The agency last year released a supplemental environment impact statement that used the interim social cost of greenhouse gases to estimate that the massive North Shore oil project would cause as much as $19.8 billion in climate damages. Friends of the Earth ran the numbers with EPA’s social cost metric of $190 and found that it would bring the climate price tag to $79 billion. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs — which is within the Office of Management and Budget — is expected to soon update a 20-year-old guidance for how agencies conduct cost-benefit analyses, or CBAs. The Bureau of Land Management began using the $51 social cost of greenhouse gas metric in environmental analyses for onshore energy development in 2021. Not only has the carbon metric not come to dominate federal policy, but it has rarely — if ever — changed the balance of costs and benefits in any rulemaking. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has used carbon values in offshore leasing for years. EPRI hasn’t published an update to the report, but Steven Rose, a principal research economist at EPRI and one of its authors, said climate benefits continue to lag other considerations, like air quality and energy security benefits, in regulations published in the Federal Register. CBAs as practiced now are little more than a “political exercise” to help agencies sell their policies, he said, and not to identify the best policy alternatives. “We really need to address these other issues as well to make sure that we’re generating reliable insights from the benefit and cost calculations themselves.” The social cost of carbon has appeared in more than 100 federal actions under four administrations since 2008, when a federal court told former President George W. Draft social cost of greenhouse gas metrics for carbon, methane and nitrogen oxides are now under review by a panel of outside experts.

"I’ve argued consistently that the only way this will ever happen at the scale it needs to happen is if it’s made a licensing condition of continuing to sell fossil fuels,” Myles Allen at the University of Oxford told NewScientist. However, the ultradilute atmospheric CO2 concentration (~400 parts per million) poses a formidable hurdle for high CO2 capture capacities using sorption-desorption processes. Arup SenGupta at Lehigh University and his colleagues developed a new absorbent material called a sorbent that can pull more CO2 from the air than existing materials. He said DAC plants utilizing the sorbent could eventually be installed offshore. On a larger scale, we'll need complicated machines and sophisticated tech but the road ahead is riddled with challenges. But they primarily focused on capturing CO2 from pollution sites such as coal and steel plants' chimneys before it entered the atmosphere.
