What is carbon capture and why does it keep coming up at COP28?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:19:45 GMT

The future of fossil fuels is at the center of the United Nations climate summit in Dubai, where many activists, experts and nations are calling for an agreement to phase out the oil, gas and coal responsible for warming the planet. On the other side: energy companies and oil-rich nations with plans to keep drilling well into the future.In the background of those discussions are carbon capture and carbon removal, technologies most, if not all, producers are counting on to meet their pledges to get to net-zero emissions. Skeptics worry the technology is being oversold to allow the industry to maintain the status quo.“The industry needs to commit to genuinely helping the world meet its energy needs and climate goals – which means letting go of the illusion that implausibly large amounts of carbon capture are the solution,” International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said before the start of talks.WHAT EXACTLY IS CARBON CAPTURE?Lots of industrial facilities like coal-fir...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:19:45 GMT

EDMONTON, Alberta — The Wild were weathering their first rough spot under new head coach John Hynes, tied with the red-hot Oilers, 3-3, in the third period after a listless first period that ended with a one-goal deficit.But the Wild rallied quickly with a three-goal second period, a good sign after Thursday night’s 2-0 loss at Vancouver, the team’s first shutout loss of the season, and first loss in five games under Hynes.Especially after arriving here in the wee hours of the morning.“I didn’t have any problem with the effort,” Hynes said after a 4-3 loss at Edmonton’s Rogers Place. “I thought we were up against it coming into the game, and that’s what the schedule is. But I really liked the compete and the battle that we had.”The game turned on a dime early in the third period when Edmonton’s Evander Kane used his shoulder to slam Minnesota defenseman Jonas Brodin into the end boards, a reckless hit that could easily have put the Wild on a power play in a tie game.Inst...
