If oil companies weren’t taking the initiative and investing heavily in this new carbon capture technology it would be decades before anyone else would at this scale.
@@Playingwithproxies the EPA and states rules are strict in pollution. Why wouldn’t you want them to offset the oil they produce, people still need oil and gas so you might as well offset that.
I wonder, how many trees can be planted for $1.3 billion? And, how much carbon can those trees pull out of the air? And, how much electricity will it take to keep those trees growing? There must be an easier way to reduce the 0.04% CO2 level of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Yes, a carbon capture facility like this can capture more Co2 than any mid size forest such as Olympic Forest in Northwest so we would have to cover every inch of Texas with trees to do get this much carbon captured, however big oil is doing this just to keep selling fossil fuels it’s not the best step, it’s still better to transfer into energy producers for electricity and more easily Hydrogen which is what our cars should be NOT electric.
Trees alone can't solve the problem. Several carbon capture methods or ALL available must be employed. Although I doubt the oil giants care a bit. It's all about profit. They've never cared about the environment.
"Differences: 1) There gonna inject the CO2 into oil wells to extract more oil (kinda defeats the point, but that's the use), 2) Its gonna be injected as a gas, so more likely to leak.
If Dubai was able to build the Burj Khalifa for $1bn just imagine how monstrous of a carbon capture plant they’d be able to build with the same $1bn price tag of this project right here. Can’t help but think.
This is fascinating stuff! Gotta applaud the efforts here especially in being both eco friendly as well as economically appealing. Definitely groundbreaking!
@@jcarp1776 If you want a genuinely good use, run the process on nuclear/renewables, then use the carbon extracted to make oil. That way you get carbon neutral oil.
I hope this is thought out to help reduce carbon emissions, I hope per area I hope so that a large area can be cleaned, and I hope every country will join in this project to somehow reduce the excessive heat in the world
So how much energy is needed to transfer the CO2 in the pellets and into the carbonate crystals? Are they going to also build solar panel farms to supply that energy or use fossil fuels and generate as much CO2 as they capture?
the video is IMO unprecise in this point. The complex Potashium/Cacium Circels were choosen since they enable a comparatively low engergy regeneration of the KOH Washing Liquid. But end of the process is pure CO2, wich is then injected into the ground. There CO2 reacts with the soil and forms „Crystals“ (and/or seals/traps CO2 deep underground)
So they will provide 1370 tons a day of liquid CO2 to the Texas oil industry. This liquid CO2 will likely be injected into oil wells to keep them pressurized. This makes to oil wells produce more crude oil and enhance revenues.
The last year has been the hottest within 125.000 years and we already scattered the 1.5°C threashold this already this year. So as it is great ti have this technology US should rather put their annual 700 Billion Dollar arms industry budget into it really defend the livelyhood in their country and fight together with every country on earth rather then figting against everyone.
nice Idea! How much area would this need to become climate relevant? What happens to the captured CO2, if a tree dies or burns due to rising forest fires?
Too much CO2 and we go back to hothouse earth. Nature would be fine with that, but it would break all our infrastructure. All our coastal cities, farming systems, industrial supply chains, etc... will be broken and need rebuilding.

they are investing in this because it doesn't require them to stop polluting as fast.
@@Playingwithproxies the EPA and states rules are strict in pollution. Why wouldn’t you want them to offset the oil they produce, people still need oil and gas so you might as well offset that.
They’re investing because of carbon credit market. The carbon credit market is expected to hit 1 trillion + by 2028

1: Not as many as you probably think.
2: Not nearly as much as industrial capturers.
3: Doesn’t matter. We have unlimited energy.

Good luck growing that many trees in the west Texas desert.
I think it's ironic how they want to store the captured carbon underground, where as that's exactly what coal is.

@@domtweed7323Oil extraction is a big user of carbon capture but ClimeWorks is proof that it’s far from the only.
Exactly why it make sense
@@marques9392 Often they inject into fracting wells to flush more natural gas/oil out, defeating the point.
1,3 billions for 108000 vehicles????
This is ridiculous!
How could anyone take this seriously?
Absolute waste of money. Australia is hiding the results for the project before they build. Its a joke..

removing CO2 isn't eco friendly - it destroys the human food supply
This video is full of bias
That bias called facts based on physics
Looks promising. Warren Buffet is no dummy.
How are they powering the CO2 capture?
Are they injecting the CO2 into oil wells to get more output?
It runs on Pixie dust and Unicorn farts, which are “green”.
Hopefully they are using the CO2 to get more oil. That way, this whole project will at least be good for something.

Cheaper making carbon capture on vehicle,,built in on exhaust pipe vehicle produce since on factory❤❤❤also move to electric vehicle or greener vehicle
if this really works then one of these needs to be built near all the largest cities in the country!!!
Anti-carbon > anti-humanity.
... never mind the utter pointlessness of it.
So how much energy is needed to transfer the CO2 in the pellets and into the carbonate crystals? Are they going to also build solar panel farms to supply that energy or use fossil fuels and generate as much CO2 as they capture?
They are building a 100 mega watt solar farm next to the plant.
the video is IMO unprecise in this point. The complex Potashium/Cacium Circels were choosen since they enable a comparatively low engergy regeneration of the KOH Washing Liquid. But end of the process is pure CO2, wich is then injected into the ground. There CO2 reacts with the soil and forms „Crystals“ (and/or seals/traps CO2 deep underground)
To pump volume of air containing .5m ton CO2 in a year through 65 acres the air speed must be around 10m/s 20mph. Ah yes, the white smoke is water.
So they will provide 1370 tons a day of liquid CO2 to the Texas oil industry. This liquid CO2 will likely be injected into oil wells to keep them pressurized. This makes to oil wells produce more crude oil and enhance revenues.
no they wont use the co2 for that but I don’t feel like explaining someone who just assumes pointlessly

Carbon Capture is an absolute con. Yep, that pretty much says it all…..
Just plant trees ,and stop cutting them
