The first large-scale operational cement CCS facility in the world has sold out of 2025 production! The Heidelberg Materials Brevik facility in Norway is producing some of the lowest carbon cement in the world, and sending the CO2 for safe storage offshore! www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

THE SENATE GOP’S SEISMIC OVERHAUL OF CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITS, EXPLAINED We summarize the GOP reconciliation bill’s biggest changes to the Inflation Reduction Act’s landmark climate policies. It’s horrendous for wind, solar, and EVs. by @emilypont.bsky.social and me heatmap.news/politics/sen...

45Q report: 1. Parity act goes through, all credits at $85 for point source and $180 for DAC, storage and utilization 2. No peg to inflation, in fact pushes back inflation base year which will eat away further at the credit 3. Transferability is back www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-ne...

Reductions and removals encompass different technologies, uses cases and costs It makes sense to have separate targets for each, this paper shows we can do that will limited cost impacts! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨New in Nature Reviews Clean Technologies: Scaling carbon removal without delaying emission reductions In this commentary, we maintain that smart policy design allows both to move together, avoiding the usual "mitigation deterrence" trap Full thread unpacking our argument below 👇

This is my politics

Evergreen CCS takeaways from the latest DVN report 1. We are not investing enough 2. It's deploying where policies support is present

The Scots storm ahead on CCS! The Acorn Project is set to be funded, which will mitigate 5-10mtpa of carbon from industrial, hydrogen and power sources by 2030 This will make Scotland more competitive, keep jobs in country and position them as attractive for investment www.bbc.com/news/article...

As with many things Kasparas is correct, LCOE isn’t the whole ball game Another banger from @heatmap.news @zeitlin.bsky.social heatmap.news/energy/level...

Texas gets primacy over their Class VI injection wells Carbon sequestration will be handled at the state level in Tx joining ND, WY, LA, and AZ www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Very small scale but a cool use case for carbon capture and utilization A winery in Spain is capturing CO2 from fermentation and reusing it within the winery to lower costs Made possible by a MOF developed by the Barcelona Insitute of Science and Technology www.chemistryworld.com/news/winery-...

The future is a policy choice The decision to rescind bipartisan funding for 24 projects, including many carbon management facilities, is a decision against progress We have chosen not to compete, not to innovate and to allow the world to pass us by heatmap.news/energy/doe-c...

Decarbonizing my bird feeder and thus life Hat tip @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social @heatmap.news for the suggestion

🚨Cement CCS deployment 🚨 Europe continues to lead the way on the best cases for CCS. This Greek project will have the capacity to capture and store up to 1mmtpa Storage project is in the Mediterranean, a first at this scale in Southern Europe! balkangreenenergynews.com/olympus-carb...

Polling says something I like or agree with: Yes this is true hahahahaha Polling says something I don’t like or agree with: Well look at how the question is framed, the language they use here is obviously slanted and who did the polling anyway? Polls aren’t that useful

Blackrock looking to buy the 49.9% of Eni’s CCS portfolio This is a testament to the quality of the projects Eni has put together Great news seekingalpha.com/news/4452568...

New paper saying in some cases NG CCS comparable to solar+batteries Massive caveats 1. Project close to storage, minimizing transport and cost 2. ⁠Project close to NG production and/or upstream leakages are mitigated 3. ⁠CF is 80+ and capture rate is 90+ 4. ⁠Long term policy/regulatory support

I think the comfortably middle-aged Xennial mortgage havers of Bluesky are unlikely to diagnose or fix the Democratic Party’s problems with young men, and I’ll leave it at that.

It’s all either rocks or plants

Need the online Iberian experts! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/w...

DAC gets a lot of hate for the massive hype cycle associated with it And fair enough AirMyne has been the anti-hype DAC company and I love what they’re building. Nice to see co-founder Mark Cyffka out speaking on their tech I’m ready to buy when they want to sell open.spotify.com/episode/70N2...

I’m now managing carbon in all its forms Casper William is pensive and mostly happy

The Quest is on Spotify!? A must listen for those in energy and climate. A great history of how we got to the energy system of today
