Engineer and attorney David Schlissel debunks the industry claim that CCS (carbon capture & storage) is getting cheaper.

When an activity (like CCS) raises threats of harm, trustworthy decision-makers will take precautionary action. Here, expert Carolyn Raffensperger tells how it works.

In this video, M.I.T. Professor Charles Harvey shows why CCS can never compete economically with solar and wind power, and why CCS increases greenhouse gas emissions instead of reducing them. (See also http://bit.ly/498SHgO)

In Canada, new rules require companies to provide evidence supporting their claims that CCS works or face a $10 million fine. In response, they have stopped making such claims because they don’t have evidence that CCS works.

Experts from the Ohio River Valley Institute show, by economic analysis, that carbon capture and storage (CCS) has a very limited future (if any) in decarbonizing Appalachia (parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia).

In this stunning investigation, rural Iowa resident Jessica Wiskus reveals that huge quantities of Iowa water are earmarked for a “use” not recognized by Iowa law.

Veteran journalists from DeSmog.com reveal the true purpose of CCS: To allow more burning of fossil fuels while pretending to avert climate change.

In this devastating critique, CCS expert June Sekera reveals that the IPCC doesn’t believe CCS is an important climate fix. CCS is just a cover story for oil companies to keep selling oil and methane gas.

Internal memos reveal that Big Oil believes CCS is just a way to sell more oil (not a way to help the climate), AND CCS can’t be built without public money, AND it may never work.

Private landholders across the Midwest have thwarted burial of toxic waste carbon dioxide. Now the carbon polluters have set their sites on federal lands for burying their toxic waste.

The U.S. Forest Service has proposed a new rule to allow toxic waste CO2 to be buried in national forests.

Carbon capture & storage is being deployed without regulations to limit massive fraud, or shield the public from deadly explosions, or protect the natural environment.

Attorney Carolyn Raffensperger shows that regulations governing CCS are pathetically inadequate for protecting the public from this dangerous plan to keep the oil and gas industries profitable.

Sheri Deal-Tyne, MPP, examines the contradiction in carbon capture: it is being presented as a climate solution when it is the opposite. Every stage of CCS increases the use of fossil fuels, the main drivers of climate change.

Here are some basic facts about CCS in one short document.

Here's a set of “talking points” for people who want to reveal the true facts about carbon capture and storage. These talking points are not exhaustive, but are a good place to prepare for a discussion of CCS.

Attorney Victoria Bogdan Tejeda discusses why U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is not equipped to regulate carbon capture and storage.

A year-long investigation by the House Committee on Oversight, concluded Dec. 9, 2022, reveals a cynical, ongoing campaign of lies and deception by Big Oil executives.

Exxon’s Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil studied CCS in the 1980s and concluded that CCS is prohibitively expensive and would cut emissions only a small percent.

This op-ed in Harvard University Public Health Magazine compares carbon capture (CCS and enhanced oil recovery [EOR]) to the cigarette industry’s patently false claims (over decades) that filtered cigarettes are healthy for you.

This 2021 report shows that widespread use of CCS to meet the 1.5 degree C. goal for global temperature rise would double human consumption of water, creating scarcity in many places.

In this 29-minute video, CCS experts June Sekera and Neva Goodwin offer the hard facts about this failed technology.

California intends to go all-in on carbon capture & storage (CCS) but this decision will motivate major polluters to continue harming Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and the Gulf of Mexico.

Carbon capture is not a climate solution. It is a dangerous distraction from the real need, which is for governments to prioritize investment in safe and sustainable climate solutions.

The Great Plains Action Society firmly opposes CCS and carbon pipelines, which will provide excuses for further land theft and harm to communities on Indigenous territories.

This analysis by the Ohio River Valley Institute (ORVI) shows that CCS (if it worked) would reduce atmospheric CO2 “in the worst possible way.”

CCS is unnecessary for the rapid transformation required to keep warming under 1.5°C,and it allows the fossil fuel industry to continue polluting.

This short document from the Center for Biological Diversity explains why carbon capture and storage is a false solution for the climate and for communities.

False claims and new pollution: despite billons in public support, CCS cannot compete with other energy sources without continuous taxpayer bailouts. Read this report from Food and Water Watch.

A brief history of CCS from Oil Change International.

Climate Action Network is the largest network of civil society organizations working together to promote government action to address the climate crisis. Their statement provides an excellent overview of CCS.

From the Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC): From capture to transport to storage, CCS technology has proven itself to be expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and insecure, despite billions in public investment so far.

This 2022 report from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (in the UK) shows that carbon capture and storage (CCS) cannot be deployed rapidly enough to avoid an average global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 deg. Fahrenheit). The report says, bluntly, CCS is “too little too late.”

A collection of humorous videos about carbon capture and storage (formerly known as “clean coal”) found across the internet.

Here are some of the best videos that explain and clarify various aspects of carbon capture and storage.
