To combat climate change, Norway wants to be Europe’s carbon dump | Europe’s top oil producer has backed a project aiming to capture carbon dioxide from European factories and bury it beneath the North Sea.

1. No mention of using the CO2 to push out more oil, which is a plausible reason for wanting to put it in this location.

2. Except there hasn’t been a single CCS project that has reliably shown to have the necessary retaining rates of +99% per year.

   It’s even worse, there hasn’t been a project that has been able to actually monitor the full reservoir and it’s changes through CO2 addition yet. Best seismic surveys are in the tens of percentage for actuall monitring extents.

   It’s all a sham and a scam to just keep on using fossil and to not pay the price for the untold suffering of millions that we are causing by using this. The rich want to keep on being rich.

   Edit:

   Not going to let the guy below me make the narative with namethrowing of projects, the projects he/she mentions do not work:

3. This will be costly for sure..What type of energy are they going to use to capture the carbon? Call me skeptical.

4. They will do ANYTHING, at ANY cost, except reduce fossil fuels usage 

5. This is all greenwashing BS. Just an elaborate and very expensive distraction to prevent us from making a real shift away from fossil fuels.

6. Nice try Norway.

7. I hope this goes ahead ASAP. As expensive as it might be, it needs done on a massive scale.
