Carbon Capture : Lincolnshire wants to place it under the Sea
 
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cp...40-nc.png.webp


[In September 2022
there were just 30 carbon capture facilities
in the world,
according to a report from the Global CCS Institute.

Almost all of these are attached
to industrial plants carrying
out activities such as natural gas processing
or fertiliser production.

Once built, it is hoped other industries
would use the UK power station's pipeline
to store CO2 under the North Sea.
]

[The only carbon capture power station
currently operating is a coal-fired plant
at Boundary Dam in western Canada.]

How Safe is that gas under the Sea?


[Carbon capture power plants
are part of the government's commitment
to remove carbon from UK electricity
production by 2035.
It hopes to build at least one by the
mid 2020s, although that deadline
now looks improbable.

There has been a big expansion
in renewable energy in the last
decade - in particular the use of
offshore wind - but the unresolved
question is how to keep the lights
on when the wind isn't blowing.

Carbon capture power stations
are seen as part of the solution,
along with the increased use
of nuclear energy,
and other rapidly-evolving
technologies such as hydrogen.]

Below the Sea
which means, I assume
they have to dig out all that mass
first.


Or are they pumping Toxic Smoke into
a big gap?

I would want to do a test first.

Will all this Toxic Smoke
not leak Upwards through rocks, then into the sea?

Yes, but they are going ahead
with Pumping Toxic Smoke
under the sea.


To me, I would ask how safe that really is?
