Krill are small animals of typically about one to two centimetres. However, they live in huge swarms and eat a lot of plankton and excrement annually bound carbon dioxide combined of estimated 23 megatons of carbon corresponding to the emission of 35 million cars. The WWF calls for better protection of krill. See http://www.neat-news.com/2023/08/223.php. #krill #carbon_capture

Some 30 to 40 percent of the CO2 greenhouse gas that we produce ends up in the oceans. Now an electrochemical method has been developed that can be used to capturing CO2 from seawater more efficiently than methods for capturing it from the air. See http://www.neat-news.com/2023/02/48.php. #CO2 #carbon_capture

With increasing amounts of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the atmosphere, capturing it becomes more important. Now a relatively cheap approach for carbon capture has been suggested, namely, to first convert the CO2 to methanol, which can then be the starting point for the conversion to other materials.

#Special_Report: How U.S. #ethanol plants are allowed to #pollute #more than #oil_refineries

#BIOFUELS: An analysis of federal data shows that ethanol plants produce #twice as many #carbon_emissions #per_gallon of fuel capacity than oil refineries, in part the result of a history of industry-friendly #federal_regulation. (Reuters)

• Though ethanol is only mentioned #three times in the new #federal_climate_law, the industry stands to benefit from its #carbon_capture provisions, clean fuel production credits, and incentives for sustainable aviation fuel. (S&P Global)

• #Missouri is offering up to $40 million in #grants for construction, installation, or upgrading of #infrastructure for #storing or #dispersing ethanol. (News Tribune)

Critics of carbon capture projects argue the funding would be better spent on renewable energy to tackle climate change, while others say such projects may make people and industry complacent about reducing emissions. | CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/actl-enhance-energy-oil-ccs-co2-ccus-1.5593969?cmp=rss #environment #abpoli #carbon_capture
