Gas industry and Coalition reach for a get-out-of-catastrophe-free card in climate crisis Monopoly | Temperature Check

After the CO2 is extracted, what’s left is mostly methane to be compressed to liquefied natural gas and transported overseas where it is burned, releasing far more CO2 than is captured.

No matter what the claims, carbon capture and storage is not working at anywhere close to a scale that would significantly lower emissions – despite the billions in taxpayers’ cash thrown at it over the years. Appea told this column the 166 Mt figure is from the government’s long-term emissions reduction plan report. But that report does not say how the figure is calculated – just that it came from unpublished analysis by the department of industry.

“The figure is simply wrong. The idea that LNG is substituting coal is wrong. It’s not occurring,” said gas industry finance analyst Bruce Robertson of the Institute forEconomics and Financial Analysis, a thinktank tracking the transformation of the world’s energy systems.

reality check

2/ the thing is the whole lnp abatement stratagy was based on ccs ,the commercial science fix theyve been touting ,doesnt work ,theve got nothing except not cutting trees down ,theve wasted billions on junk .

ccs is a dud , it works if you can find an aquifer to take the liquid co2 and hold it at high pressure ,maybe 2 kilometers deep ,near the emitter or the coal, gas fired power plant which has to supply the electricity for the compressors at 25% of the supply and not keep up, joke

One angle that really has not dawned on me until a friend (Leigh Farnell) put up on Facebook today... oil and gas industry is to power and light as whaling was 100 years ago. Aren't we glad we don't do that any longer.
