I felt it was still relevant, so I re-published it as my latest newsletter. Since 2023, some of the same researchers have also started a project to test CO2 storage in Switzerland. Citizens of Zürich approved a project to store CO2 emissions from a sewer sludge waste incinerator. If things go as planned, those will be stored in the Grønsand project in Denmark and in old concrete by the company Neustark. #ccs #co2 #industrydecarbonization industrydecarbonization.com/ne

@nfdi4culture Großartige News für die #MoU! 🎉 Das SC von N4O wird vom CO unmittelbar in Kenntnis gesetzt, damit die #CCs in die #TRAILs und #TWGs hineinwirken um diese großartigen Entwicklungen in laufende Arbeiten der #LIDO AG UAG #LIDO2RDF zu integrieren und die Ergebnisse beim nächsten CM der GA und dem AB präsentieren zu können. N4O ist über die KSW seit heute Mitglied in der #CRM SIG und kann somit Entwicklungen zum N4OKG in die SIG tragen.

#EU exploring weaker 2040 climate goal

The European Commission wants to keep a 90 percent #emissions-cutting target but to change how countries calculate their progress.

The options being discussed range from allowing countries to defer steeper cuts to letting them count carbon reductions they pay for in other countries. Another idea would be to lean more on carbon that forests or technology can remove from the air."

Case in point: same #lobbies that want to label #blueH2 as clean, use the #deregulation 🚌 #Omnibus laws to roll back hard-won climate protections, such as the EU’s 2024 Methane Regulation.

⚠️ This could open the door for continued imports of highly polluting #LNG from fracked gas in the US

Label #BlueH2 as 'clean’ means billions in new subsidies 4 #fossilfuel projects that exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis

⛔no to #False Solutions such as #CCS and #H2

#BlueHydrogen is fossil-based, with CO2 captured w/ #CCS

Research shows that #blueH2 total ghg footprint can be 20% or even 50% worse 4 the planet than burning gas directly.

Fossil fuel lobbyists have for years lobbied to label #blueH2 as low carbon or clean.
