A new investigation by Global Witness has examined Shell’s landmark Quest CCS project in Canada, which captures the CO2 from the company's dirty tar sands operations. According to Global Witness, the Quest plant “is in fact emitting more than it is capturing.”
ExxonMobil is a company that for decades has done more than any other to spread climate denial. But now the climate laggard wants you to believe it is becoming a climate champion.
The fossil fuel industry continues to argue that Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) is an integral solution to our climate crisis. Billions has been spent trying to get the technology to work. Billions has already been wasted. Billions more will be wasted too.
Just days before COP26, Australia's long-awaited climate plan has been slammed by civil society, scientists and opposition politicians as void of substance and full of spin.
The latest techno-fix to try and reduce carbon dioxide emissions has gone live in a remote, bleak landscape of Iceland. But will it help fix our climate crisis?
Five decades on from the first CCS project, the technology remains riddled with problems, unproven at scale, and not fit for purpose. It is beyond time to focus on the real solutions to the climate crisis and injustice that the fossil fuel industry has wrought. Neither CO2-rich gas or LNG qualify.
Last year, we rated ExxonMobil as "grossly insufficient" on all ten of the criteria. There are tiny steps forward in the new announcement, but nothing that changes any of our ten metrics from "grossly insufficient" to "insufficient," let alone to even "partial alignment."
Shell, a company often vilified for being complicit in human rights abuses in Nigeria, of rampant pollution and ignoring the risks of climate change for decades, belatedly wants us to believe it is central to the climate fight.
Communities in Houston, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and California are just beginning the long road to recovery from disasters made worse by climate change. It would seem downright irresponsible to increase taxpayer handouts to spur fossil fuel production at a time like this. But that’s exactly what’s being proposed in Washington.
