Ideas for the Climate: CO₂ siphons from Germany

Phlair, a German startup, wants to filter CO₂ out of the atmosphere using a new, energy-saving approach and build a DAC plant in Canada for this purpose. However, it's unclear whether the process would have a chance in Germany.

Ideen fürs Klima: CO₂-Staubsauger aus Deutschland

Das deutsche Start-up Phlair will CO₂ mit einem neuen, energiesparenden Ansatz aus der Atmosphäre filtern und dafür eine DAC-Anlage in Kanada bauen. Ob das Verfahren auch in Deutschland eine Chance hätte, ist allerdings fraglich.

CCS-Gesetz: Warum die CO₂-Speicherung an Land erlaubt werden sollte

CCS und CDR sind notwendig für den Klimaschutz. In Deutschland wird die CO₂-Speicherung an Land trotz großer Potenziale bisher kategorisch ausgeschlossen. Zu Unrecht, argumentieren Lukas Daubner und Julia Hönnecke vom Zentrum Liberale Moderne.

CCS Act: Why CO₂ storage on land should be permitted

CCS and CDR are necessary for climate action. In Germany, CO₂ storage on land has so far been categorically ruled out despite its great potential. Wrongly so, argue Lukas Daubner and Julia Hönnecke from the Zentrum Liberale Moderne.

Dänische Prioritäten: Klimapolitik mit neuem Fokus

Dänemark übernimmt am Dienstag die Ratspräsidentschaft. Ganz oben auf der Agenda steht die Klimapolitik – allerdings liegt der Fokus weniger auf Emissionsreduktion, dafür mehr auf niedrigen Preisen und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.

The worlds largest direct air capture and storage plant that permanently removes CO from the air has opened in Iceland. Run by Swiss company Climeworks, Orca sucks carbon dioxide directly from the air and buries it as rocks deep underground, using technology from Climeworks Icelandic partner Carbfix. Orca has the capacity to remove 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere this way each year. The number equates roughly the emissions from 870 cars or 9,281 consumed barrels of oil, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency greenhouse gas calculator. The Orca plant is located in Hellisheidi, Iceland, adjacent to Icelandic energy company ON Power s geothermal power plant, and is entirely run on this rene PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRA Copyright: xx 50626631

CDR: high hopes, hardly any clue

To meet the Paris climate targets, carbon dioxide must be removed from the atmosphere. But many carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods are still in their infancy. Scientists are now urging policymakers to quickly devise a plan to promote negative emissions.
