Sentences with phrase «if air capture»

Even if air capture were to someday prove profitable, whether it should be scaled up is another question.

And if air capture is fully developed and scaled up, there remains the issue of where to store the captured gas.

Not exact matches

If sufficient hydrogen is available, nearly all of the carbon in the coal or biomass feedstock to a Fischer - Tropsch plant would end up in the fuel products and not in the air, eliminating the need to capture and sequester carbon dioxide, the authors said.

If the energy industry saw every molecule of CO2 released into the air as money lost, we would not today see about half of new power plants built with outdated and ineffective capture tech.

Or if you have emissions taking place far away, in the poor countries, the idea that you could do free air capture, like Carbon Engineering is trying to do and a few other people are trying to do — that would have to be part of the mix.

If the goal of climate policy is to stabilize concentrations of carbon dioxide, then air capture technologies should be enthusiastically welcomed as a possible contributor to achieving that goal.

In some ways, how people reaction to air capture can help to clarify if they see climate policy as focused on carbon dioxide, or all of those other things getting a free ride.

I would suggest comparing peak to peak average temperature captures during weighted El - Nino events (during the time they occur, if they can be compared equally this would be a telling graph), instead of considering year to year records as a means of reducing ENSO effects on the temperature record, ENSO being largely a heat exchange between air and sea causing great changes in cloud distribution world wide.

If the development of this air - to - fuel process plays out on a commercial scale, it could be used to both capture excess CO2 from the environment (or used at carbon capture points), as well as produce «guilt - free» gasoline.

To address this need, a policy instrument similar to a Renewable Portfolio Standard could work wonders — if countries / states mandated that an increasing fraction of their emissions be offset through direct air capture, it would create a bankable demand driver that would stimulate further investments in technology research and development.

But Fuhr and Hallstrom are wrong that these negative consequences definitely «would» happen, especially if a large portfolio of CDR approaches (spanning not just bio-CCS but also biochar, direct air capture, reforestation / ecosystem restoration, land management, and enhanced mineral weathering) were pursued to provide negative emissions.

Even by keeping the door open for fossil CCS projects (if not mandating the technology outright), the EPA has provided an opportunity for utilities and project developers to build fossil energy with CCS projects, and hopefully pave the way for carbon removal CCS techniques such as bioenergy with CCS and direct air capture and storage in the future.

They add: «Direct air capture could become a major industry if the technology matures and prices drop dramatically... Direct air capture might require much less land [than other negative emissions techniques], but entail much higher costs and consumption of a large fraction of global energy production.

Our results suggest that if a 2.0 Ã «Â warming is to be avoided, direct CO2 capture from the air, together with subsequent sequestration, would eventually have to be introduced in addition to sustained 90 % global carbon emissions reductions by 2050.

In order to get the bioreactors efficient enough to produce 10,000 — 20,000 gallons of fuel per acre per year they need CO2 at many times atmospheric concentration which is a piece of cake if you capture it from power plant or other industrial exhaust gases but not so easy getting it out of the air.

This type of heat pump captures heat from outdoor air and uses it to provide space heating or hot water using electricity to boost the temperature if needed.

Non-incremental progress («breakthroughs») and sharp price declines may occur with printed («nano») solar panels, air (CO2) capture devices, and new battery technologies — though probably only if we subsidize their mass manufacture and deployment.

But if the costs of air capture decrease to $ 100 per ton of carbon, then it would prove much more cost - effective than stabilizing at 450 ppm or 550 ppm.

If capturing and storing carbon dioxide doesn't work at a large scale, many energy experts say, then all the effort to curb carbon emissions through technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels may amount to so much hot air.

If there is an incentive for pollution - free power it should go to nuclear plants and coal plants that capture their air pollution, not just wind and solar.

But if you add carbon capture technology, this facility can catch all the carbon dioxide stored by the plants before it escapes back into the air.

And if it isn't economical for use in power plants, with their concentrated source of carbon dioxide, the prospects of capturing it out of the air seem dim to many experts.

Secondly, air capture, if it ever becomes practical, could gradually reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The good news is that such air capture could be less expensive and invasive than, for instance, such measures, mentioned above, as «seeding the oceans with iron to spur plankton blooms» (which strikes me as a global ecological disaster waiting to happen if a mutation occurs or terrorists do a genetic hack.)

If it is, the modular production of air capture units would result in economies of scale, and units could be shipped in standard containers anywhere in the world, away from population centers in dry wastelands.

But if your purpose is to use the CO2, «then all these advantages plus others might counteract the one disadvantage of air capture — the lower concentration.»

Abigail Dubiniecki, legal counsel for the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, noted that even if an organization doesn't have operations in the EU, if it is directing services to EU residents, it can still be captured by the requirements.
