Limited safe carbon storage could lower warming by less than 1 degree
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Sep 07, 2025 A new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has mapped safe underground storage areas for carbon dioxide and found that their practical use would only reduce global warming by about 0.7C. This figure is nearly ten times lower than earlier industry-based projections of 6C, which included storage in high-risk locations where carbon injection could trigger earthquakes or contaminate water supplies. The research, published in Nature, estimates a global safe stor ... read more |

Construction begins on giant CO2 capture facility in Sweden
Stockholm (AFP) June 12, 2025 Work on a giant carbon capture and storage (CCS) site in Stockholm began Thursday, with the facility expected to be operational in 2028. The new plant will have the capacity to capture and store more than 800,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is more than the annual emissions from the Swedish capital's road traffic, said Anders Egelrud, CEO of utility Stockholm Exergi, which is leading the project. It "is going to be the largest project of this kind in Europe and one of the largest in the world, ... read more
