Podcasts about carbon capture

“Carbon Recycling International…is converting CO2 into sustainable methanol…(W)e have technology, which takes CO2 as a waste, and it takes hydrogen and turns it into methanol…and it is used today both like into chemicals. So, the chemical sector is a big consumer of methanol, which is a very large known product in the world today. …(and into) a sustainable fuel...playing a pretty big role in the energy transition.” Bjork Kristjansdottir on Electric Ladies Podcast As the Trump administration sends mixed signals on carbon capture technologies – keeping the tax credits for them while cutting funding – an innovative company in Iceland is converting captured CO2 into energy, in what's called carbon recycling. How? Listen to Bjork Kristjansdottir, COO/CFO of Carbon Recycling International in Iceland explain how it works and how it's used in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson.  You'll hear about: How they “recycle carbon” – from capture to converting it to how it's used. How the chemicals made from carbon recycling are used. Why methanol is so important in the energy transition and how they make it How they are making sustainable aviation fuel from carbon recycling Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “My advice is first, like it's around decisions. So, we need to make decisions. Postponing making decisions puts you at the risk things will just happen to you.…And remember that, when we do make those decision in our career, it is always based on the best information available at the time. Things may change, it doesn't make it a wrong decision.. (and) You don't need to learn and be the best at everything yourself. What you need to do is to learn how to listen and harvest all of the potential, all of the talent around you… get comfortable with asking the right questions.” Bjork Kristjansdottir on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes article about this new report here and more of her articles here too.

On this show, we hear excerpts from a keynote talk from the Bioneers 2024 Conference in Berkeley, California by Taylor Brobry, Activist and Author of Boys and Oil, Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land. We then will hear what is called a climate thinker, Gabrielle Walker from her TED Talk on Carbon Capture. Following that, host Jack Eidt's 2024 interview with energy expert and climate and environmental activist Morey Wolfson. Most of us understand we are in a global climate emergency. Data confirmed last month was the hottest May on record, putting the Earth on a 12-month streak of record-breaking temperatures. What we need is to immediately transition away from the burning of fossil fuels toward renewable power sources, but also a focus on more efficient energy use, and most importantly, a comprehensive plan for massive conservation and rethinking the way we do business. But global corporations want to continue with their present business model focused on coal, oil, fossil gas, ethanol, and industrial agro-fueled biodiesel. And the way they do it is advancing solutions like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage. Taylor Brorby [https://taylorbrorby.com/] grew in the dynamic shortgrass prairie of western North Dakota, a youth that coincided with the brutal physical and psychic scarring of his surroundings by the coal and oil industry, a fate not made any easier by being a young gay boy enthralled by classical music, art, fishing, and poetry. From here, Taylor became a poet, writer and dedicated activist, an eloquent critic of the fossil fuel industry, penning, among other works, the memoir: Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land, the essays in Civil Disobedience, and co-editing: Fracture: Essays, Poems, and Stories on Fracking in America. Morey Wolfson has spent his career in energy and environmental policy. He is a Former Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulator, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) employee, and governors' energy policy advisor. Jack Eidt is an urban planner, environmental journalist, and climate organizer, as well as award-winning fiction writer. He is Co-Founder of SoCal 350 Climate Action and Executive Producer of EcoJustice Radio. He is also Founder and Publisher of WilderUtopia [https://wilderutopia.com], a website dedicated to the question of Earth sustainability, finding society-level solutions to environmental, community, economic, transportation and energy needs.

What is carbon mineralization?As defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, “carbon mineralization is the process by which carbon dioxide becomes a solid mineral, such as a carbonate…The biggest advantage of carbon mineralization is that the carbon cannot escape back to the atmosphere.” This generally occurs by injecting carbon dioxide underground into certain rock formations so the carbon dioxide takes on a solid form: trapped and unable to reach the atmosphere. How does carbon mineralization work?Two of the main methods in which carbon mineralization occurs are ex-situ carbon mineralization and in-situ carbon mineralization. With ex-situ carbon mineralization, carbon dioxide solids are transported to a site to react with fluids—like water—and gas. In-situ carbon mineralization is the opposite—fluids containing carbon dioxide are funneled through rock formations in which it solidifies. Both of these methods result in carbon dioxide trapped in a solidified form. In a third method of carbon mineralization, surificial mineralization, carbon dioxide reacts with alkaline substances—such as mine tailings, smelter slags, or sedimentary formations—which result in the carbon dioxide taking on a solidified form. In the case of in-situ carbon mineralization or surificial mineralization, carbon dioxide can react with surface water rather than an artificial fluid, replicating natural processes of carbon mineralization.Currently, the biggest drawbacks and barriers preventing carbon mineralization from taking hold as a major climate solution lie in cost and research uncertainties regarding environmental risks. In terms of cost, the price for carbon mineralization is high: 5 million dollars per well to inject carbon dioxide into rock formations. Further, the risks for groundwater and its susceptibility to contamination through this method is unknown, and the potential side effects of contaminating water formations could be devastating for ecological communities which thrive off of these water systems.Who is our guest?Dr. Rob Jackson is a professor and senior research fellow at Stanford University, and author of Into the Clear Blue Sky, a novel on climate solutions. His lab focuses on using scientific knowledge to shape climate policies and reduce the environmental footprint of human activities. Currently, he chairs the Global Carbon Project, an effort to measure and control greenhouse gas emissions.ResourcesUSGS: U.S. Geological SurveyScienceDirect: A holistic overview of the in-situ and ex-situ carbon mineralization: Methods, mechanisms, and technical challengesNational Center for Biotechnology Information: Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration: A Research Agenda.Frontiers: An Overview of the Status and Challenges of CO2 Storage in Minerals and Geological FormationsFurther ReadingThe New York Times: How Oman's Rocks Could Help Save the PlanetClimate Break: Rerun: Using Concrete for Carbon Removal with Dr. Erica DoddsFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/carbon-capture-mineralization-with-dr-rob-jackson/

It’s back to the offshore and marine industry today as we dive into a company that often makes the list of top movers on the Singapore Exchange. You might have guessed it by now – yes, we’re speaking to Seatrium Limited or the enlarged entity formed after Sembcorp Marine completed the S$4.5 billion acquisition of its industry peer Keppel Offshore and Marine in March 2023. Named after a combination of the words “sea” and “atrium”, Seatrium aspires to be a premier global player in providing engineering solutions for the offshore, marine and energy solutions. Today, its key business segments include Oil & Gas, Offshore Wind, Repairs & Upgrades and Carbon Capture and Storage and New Energies, with the firm increasingly focusing on sustainable solutions as the global maritime industry transitions to cleaner energy use and embarks on decarbonisation efforts. Its presence meanwhile can be felt around the world, with shipyards as well as engineering and technology centres and facilities in Singapore, Brazil, China, India, the Middle East, the US and even more. Now, Seatrium is an interesting company to look at because the firm’s leadership managed to turn the business around in slightly less than two years. In February 2025, the firm reported a net profit of S$120.9 million for its second half ended December. The showing marked a reversal from the net loss of S$1.8 billion seen in the year ago period. The performance meant a full-year net profit of S$156.8 million for Seatrium, a marked improvement from the S$2 billion loss seen the year prior, and first full-year profit since the merger with Keppel Offshore and Marine. The road ahead for the firm remains positive, with the company reporting a net order book of S$21.3 billion as at the end of March, with project deliveries stretching to 2031. But really, how does the firm assess its turnaround strategy and the road ahead given volatilities relating to global trade and oil prices? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Chris Ong, CEO, Seatrium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Interim Chairman, Hydrogen Utopia, as the pioneer in transforming non-recyclable mixed waste into clean hydrogen, announces that it has now signed a binding outline agreement with InEnTec Inc. covering the MENA region. From Challenges to Opportunities: The Strategic Pivot Hydrogen Utopia's journey has not been without hurdles. Initially, the company followed the European Union's ambitious hydrogen initiatives, investing heavily in technology development. However, as Howard White explains, the EU's regulatory environment proved restrictive and slow-moving, with limited progress despite substantial efforts and resources. White reflects on this experience candidly, acknowledging the shared sacrifices made by shareholders and leadership alike.  “When you bang your head against the wall long enough and it hurts, you stop banging your head against the wall and you look for something else.” This realization led Hydrogen Utopia to refocus on the MENA region, particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where governments are eager to invest in proven, scalable solutions. Unlike the EU, these countries prioritize technologies with demonstrated operational success, ready to back large-scale projects with billions of dollars in funding. Leveraging Proven Technology with InEnTec Partnership A major milestone for Hydrogen Utopia is its partnership with InEnTec Inc., a company with a fully operational, full-scale system running in the United States for over 13 years. This technology, which converts mixed waste into hydrogen at high temperatures (around 2,500°C), offers a tangible, low-risk solution that GCC nations can confidently adopt. White emphasizes the importance of this technology readiness level 9 (TRL9) status, explaining that it allows Hydrogen Utopia to present not just a concept but a working model to potential clients, significantly reducing investment risk.  “They want to see something that works. They want to go and look at it and then they want to put the money in it.” This readiness is critical in a region where timeframes for project approval and construction are much shorter than in Europe, enabling rapid deployment and operation. Decarbonizing Construction and Waste Management One of the most promising applications for Hydrogen Utopia's technology lies in the decarbonization of the construction industry, which is booming in the MENA region. Cement production, a major source of CO2 emissions, traditionally relies on coal, natural gas, and waste materials such as tires and plastics as fuel sources. Hydrogen Utopia's solution offers a way to replace these carbon-intensive fuels with clean hydrogen produced locally, right next to cement plants. White highlights the scale of this opportunity: There are 47 cement plants in Saudi Arabia alone. Each ton of cement requires approximately 15 kilograms of hydrogen. The region's cement production runs into millions of tons annually. Producing hydrogen onsite avoids the high costs and inefficiencies associated with transporting hydrogen from distant solar-powered electrolysis plants, which can more than double the price. Hydrogen Utopia's approach can deliver low-carbon hydrogen at approximately $4.50 to $5 per kilogram, making it economically competitive. Moreover, the technology can process challenging waste streams such as tires and plastics by breaking them down to their molecular components. This process not only generates hydrogen but also produces clean CO2 suitable for carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS). Carbon Capture and Enhanced Oil Recovery Hydrogen Utopia's system includes a gas water shift process that doubles hydrogen output while producing pure CO2. This CO2 can be used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a technique where CO2 is injected into depleted oil fields to extract remaining oil and simultaneously trap the CO2 underground, effectively sequestering it. Such CCUS applications are a key part of the UAE's and Saudi Arabia's environmental strategies, aligning with their ambitions to lead in carbon reduction technologies. Addressing the Growing Plastic Waste Crisis Plastic waste, which is projected to increase from 400 million tons per year today to 1.5 billion tons by 2050, presents a significant environmental challenge. Traditional recycling methods are energy intensive and do not eliminate plastic pollution but merely repurpose it. Hydrogen Utopia's technology offers a solution by destroying plastic waste at the molecular level, converting it into clean hydrogen and CO2, thereby removing plastic from the environment rather than recycling it into new products. Engagement with Clients and Market Outlook The response from cement producers and other industrial clients in the GCC has been overwhelmingly positive. White notes that many companies recognize Hydrogen Utopia's solution as the only viable decarbonization path currently available to them. With a working system already operational in the US, potential clients can verify the technology firsthand, which significantly accelerates decision-making and project financing. Funding for projects will typically be structured through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), with offtake agreements securing the sale of hydrogen before construction begins. This model reduces financial risk and streamlines investment, especially given the scale of potential customers, some valued at tens of billions of dollars. Reflections on the Hydrogen Market and Future Prospects Howard White candidly addresses the skepticism around hydrogen investments, acknowledging past disappointments but emphasizing Hydrogen Utopia's relatively short history of just over four years in a challenging market environment. He critiques the confusing “color” coding of hydrogen—green, gray, blue, turquoise—as marketing jargon that obscures the real issue, which is the carbon intensity of production. In the MENA region, the focus is simply on low-carbon hydrogen, regardless of color.  “Hydrogen actually is colorless. It's all the same color.” White remains optimistic about the company's trajectory, comparing Hydrogen Utopia's turnaround to McLaren's dramatic improvement in Formula 1 racing. He stresses that with proven technology, a receptive market, and supportive regional governments, the company is poised for rapid growth and multiple project sales in the near future. Conclusion Hydrogen Utopia's innovative approach to producing clean hydrogen from mixed waste positions it as a key player in the MENA region's energy transition. By leveraging proven technology, aligning with regional economic visions, and addressing critical environmental challenges such as cement industry emissions and plastic waste, the company offers a compelling solution with significant commercial potential. As governments in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries accelerate their decarbonization efforts, Hydrogen Utopia's model of localized, low-carbon hydrogen production could become a blueprint for sustainable industrial growth in the region and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates as Hydrogen Utopia moves forward with its ambitious projects and partnerships, driving real-world change in the clean energy landscape.

In this episode, we sit down with Will Latta, Vice President at BrightLoop, a division of Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), to explore B&W's chemical looping technology. Will provides an in-depth look at BrightLoop, a flexible and scalable solution designed to produce low-carbon H2 and syngas while capturing carbon more efficiently than traditional methods.

Dr. Mark Jacobson is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of the Atmosphere Energy Program at Stanford University, where he's been one of the most vocal advocates for powering the world entirely with wind, water, and solar energy. No nuclear, no carbon capture, no fossil fuels of any kind. His research team has created 100% renewable energy roadmaps for all 50 U.S. states and 149 countries, helping shape policies like New York's clean energy mandate. In this episode, Dr. Jacobson shares his perspective on where we are in the renewables adoption curve and explains why he believes that technologies like nuclear power, carbon capture, and biofuels aren't just unnecessary, they're harmful distractions from the clean energy transition he sees as both achievable and urgent.This conversation may be polarizing. While many will agree with Mark's take on renewables and the grid, his firm rejection of other low-carbon tech challenges mainstream climate thinking. We believe these fault lines are worth exploring, even, or especially, when they make people uncomfortable.Episode recorded on June 30, 2025 (Published on July 15, 2025)In this episode, we cover: ⁠[02:32]⁠ Why proposed tax changes threaten renewables⁠[05:45]⁠ Fossil fuel subsidies vs. renewables support⁠[06:29]⁠ China's rapid clean energy deployment⁠[10:44]⁠ Rooftop solar offsets California's rising demand⁠[12:20]⁠ Home and utility batteries reshaping grid usage⁠[14:40]⁠ Texas grid inefficiencies and renewables progress⁠[18:21]⁠ Combining wind, solar and batteries[19:26]⁠ Land use myths about wind and solar[22:49] Dr. Mark Jacobson's background and research⁠[27:23]⁠ How to phase out existing fossil infrastructure⁠[31:36]⁠ Dr. Jacobson's rejection of carbon capture[36:52] His thoughts on nuclear[42:11] Dr. Jacobson's thoughts on geothermal[46:19] How he sees the next decade unfolding Enjoyed this episode?

A northern Alberta First Nations leader is raising concerns about a proposed $16-billion carbon capture project, warning his community could pursue legal action if the federal government fails to properly consult Indigenous groups.In an interview on West of Centre Short, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam said his community has not received credible information about the environmental risks of the Pathways Alliance project — particularly the injection of carbon into underground salt plains.Adam also criticized the Carney government's Bill C-5, which aims to fast-track infrastructure projects deemed to be in the national interest. He's so opposed to the bill, he's opted not to attend the prime minister's meeting with fellow chiefs in Gatineau this week.At the heart of Adam's concerns is a long-standing call for revenue sharing. He said that unless First Nations are offered a more equitable stake in resource development, especially on Treaty land, conflict and legal challenges will continue.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guest: Allan Adam

CCS steht für Carbon Capture and Storage. Es bezeichnet eine Technologie, bei der CO2 aus der Luft abgesaugt oder am Ort der Emission aufgefangen werden soll, um danach in der Erdkruste verpresst zu werden. Was beim ersten Anblick logisch klingt, entpuppt sich aber als große Mogelpackung. Auch wenn es sicher ganz spezielle Fälle geben wird, bei denen CCS eine Option sein kann, so wird der Ansatz i der Breite sowohl aus Kapazitätsgründen aber auch aufgrund mangelnder Wirtscahftlichkeit keine Option sein. Dennoch verbreiten Vertreter:innen der Fossil-Lobby und ihre "nützlichen Idioten" das Märchen von CCS, um die sterbende alte Welt zu erhalten. Die amtierende Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche, die eigentlich eine Fossil-Lobbyistin ist, möchte CCS sogar für ihre Gaskraftwerke einsetzen. Dabei ist die Idee noch abstruser, weil der Großteil der Emissionen in der Vorkette entsteht. CCS steht symptomatisch für eine Vielzahl an Pinken Einhörnern der sterbenden GesternKleber Lobby, mit denen sie versucht, durch Belügen der Öffentlichkeit, ihre toxischen Geschäftsmodelle zu erhalten.

Trump has cancelled $49M project for carbon capture.  It was part of a giant green racket that goes back to 2020 in the Wyoming Legislature.  They actually called it a scheme.  Like all green energy and climate plans, it has nothing to do with the environment.

Come to wickedproblems.earth to get the full-fat version! Exit music for this episode is “Oil Money” by Graham Barham. Because, well, it's a bit obvious this time, no?If insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result, global climate institutions like the annual COP meetings are definitionally loopier than Elon Musk deep down a K-hole.We spend our time arguing about how to count emissions in order to avoid the real conversation, which is a struggle between three asset classes: fossil fuel assets, ‘vulnerable' assets (like Small Island Developing States), and ‘green' assets. Pretending that struggle is not existential is the essence of climate diplomacy for the past 35 years.University of Toronto political scientist Professor Jessica Green thinks we're well past the point we can afford to continue pretending. Reading her forthcoming book, Existential Politics - Why Global Climate Institutions are Failing and How to Fix Them, was like waking from a dream. You should pre-order it now.She cuts through the nonsense to focus on the real dilemma. The only way through an “energy transition” is for fossil fuel companies, enormously powerful economic and political actors, to have $trillions in ‘stranded assets' and balance sheets that go up in smoke.Turkeys don't vote for Christmas (an idiomatic expression I'm pleased to be the first to share with Prof. Green). Yet the entire structure of global climate diplomacy is built on the fallacy that, somehow, oil majors and NOCs would ignore their self-interest and agree to die.As you'll hear in our conversation, Prof. Green doesn't pull punches and doesn't suffer fools. There's an impatience in her writing and her presentation that has a lot of James Dyke “fuck this noise can we please stop kidding ourselves” energy. At some points I wanted to reach for the hemlock, but thankfully she is as witty as she is sharp.I ask her how her ideas intersect or cut against other critiques of the mainstream climate conversation like Andreas Malm and Wim Carton in Overshoot, Rupert Read's take on transformative adaptation and Tadzio Mueller's anticipation of collapse.I think you'll enjoy the chat.

Did you know there are at least 16 different ways to capture carbon—and some of them actually generate water? Others, however, could increase water consumption at power plants by up to 30%. In this episode, Rhys and Divya unpack the complex relationship between water and carbon capture technologies, where scale-up is accelerating and trade-offs are becoming harder to ignore.They also turn their focus to AI: data centers powering tools like ChatGPT are guzzling up to 5 million gallons of water a day. Every prompt has a footprint—and it's not just digital. From ceramic membranes in Memphis to new cooling metrics like WUE, the discussion surfaces the hidden water costs of decarbonisation and digitisation alike.Both topics are the subject of upcoming BlueTech web briefings, where the team will go deeper with invited experts. And as always, there's a full research report available for each—covering the data, players, and technologies shaping these fast-evolving sectors.1️⃣ Carbon Capture and Water:Join the web briefing here and download the report here2️⃣ The Water Footprint of AIRegister for the web briefing here and access the report here--Presented by BlueTech Research®, Actionable Water Technology Market Intelligence.

What is COF 999?UC Berkeley chemistry professor Dr. Omar Yaghi recently led a study which has the potential to be revolutionary in reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. “Covalent organic framework number 999,” or COF 999, is a yellow, powder-like material that has billions of tiny holes. Inside of these holes, researchers in Dr. Yaghi's lab have installed molecular units that can seek out carbon dioxide, enabling the substance to suck in and capture the carbon dioxide. COF 999 has a huge capacity for absorbing emissions; half a pound of the powder can absorb as much carbon dioxide as a tree captures in a year.The carbon dioxide problemThe quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached an all-time high, with a global average in 2023 of 419.3 parts per million. This immense amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from a number of human sources, the most common of which is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and contributes significantly to global warming and other environmental issues, including ocean acidification.Applying COF 999 In an interview with Forbes, Dr. Yaghi described the way he sees COF 999 being implemented as a solution. The powder can be made into pellets or a coating, and then integrated into facilities where flue gas –the gas that is released from industrial processes –is released. “This flue gas would pass through the material and because it just plucks out CO2, it cleans CO2 from that flue before it reaches the atmosphere.” According to the San Francisco Standard, Dr. Yaghi says that the powder “requires no energy, shows no signs of degradation even after 100 uses, and is made from inexpensive, commercially available materials.”  Another benefit is that the material only needs to be heated to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, rather than to 120 like many other traditional materials necessary for carbon capture.In order to see significant change in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration, we will need to couple preventing carbon dioxide emissions with direct air capture, which COF 999 can also do. According to Zihui Zhou, a UC Berkeley graduate student who worked in Dr. Yaghi's lab says, “Currently, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is more than 420 ppm, but that will increase to maybe 500 or 550 before we fully develop and employ flue gas capture. So if we want to decrease the concentration and go back to maybe 400 or 300 ppm, we have to use direct air capture.” It will take time, however, for scientists to be able to use COF 999 effectively. This is because the powder has not been tested in real-life scenarios, and therefore the costs and risks from the powder are largely unknown; for example, the powder might restrict air flow through filters when applied, reducing the practicality of the powder.  About our guestDr. Omar Yaghi is a professor of chemistry at the University of California Berkeley, and the Founding Director of the Berkeley Global Science Institute, whose mission is to build centers of research in developing countries and provide opportunities for young scholars to discover and learn.

In this podcast, Hasan Muslemani speaks to Nnaziri ihejirika about carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) as a carbon management tool and its role in the energy transition. The podcast discusses different definitions of CCU and of emerging carbon utilisation pathways, including biochar production, manufacture of concrete and aggregate materials, and production of e-fuels and e-chemicals. […] The post OIES Podcast – Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) appeared first on Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.

(The Center Square) — Legislators rejected seven bills on Tuesday that would have greatly hindered the development of carbon capture and sequestration, a major blow to Louisiana constituents concerned about eminent domain and CO2 leaks. Only one bill moved through the House Natural Resources Committee. Senate Bill 73, from Sen. Mike Reese, R-Beauregard, passed without objection. The bill requires the commissioner of conservation to give significant weight to local government input when making decisions on carbon dioxide sequestration projects that involve public comments or hearings. Full story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/louisiana/article_79dd7e46-6b50-44d8-9bff-aee00cdf8232.htmlhttps://www.thecentersquare.com/louisiana/article_ae0d1f09-9b47-440c-8557-91b681b0471c.html

Guest Rebecca Terrell, The New American, joins to discuss ongoing push to battle "carbon" in the world by using carbon capture pipelines. What is it, and what is it doing to rural communities, farm land, and more? Is there a bigger agenda to inject carbon into the ground and effect drinking water and take over land? President Trump spends the weekend bringing peace to India with ongoing conflict with Pakistan.  Tariff negotiations begin this weekend with China on renewing trade deals. What can we expect?

A new MP3 sermon from VCY America is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Carbon Capture Pipelines…Can They Be Stopped? Subtitle: Crosstalk America Speaker: Jim Schneider Broadcaster: VCY America Event: Current Events Date: 5/6/2025 Length: 53 min.

A steamroller levels most anything that gets in its way. This is a good analogy for big government and the deep-state as it doesn't care about private property, individual freedom or independence. It only cares about forging ahead to get rid of anything that might get in its way.This has been the case for many landowners that have been in the way of the carbon capture pipeline steamroller. Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Tom DeWeese. Tom is president of American Policy Center. He is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education and American sovereignty and independence and protecting our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.Tom has written that the carbon capture pipeline is one of the worst environmental scams ever. The idea is to take carbon dioxide (which is basically plant food) out of the atmosphere and bury it underground. He believes this doesn't help the environment, it's damaging to it but that shouldn't surprise anyone when you realize that this is about controlling farmers and private property.Which states are seeing efforts to place a carbon capture pipeline? What problems are associated with this process for both landowners and the environment? Tom answers these and other important questions for you to consider, on this edition of Crosstalk.

To say the carbon capture pipeline is controversial is an understatement. Already states are moving to block Summit Carbon Solutions from using eminent domain to build the pipeline. Meanwhile the company wants to construct a 688-mile pipeline through 29 Iowa counties. While some landowners have signed up a great number of them are not and the impact on agriculture is huge.  Here we visit with Jan Norris of Red Oak, Iowa about the group she works with to deny the pipeline. We talk about the neighborhood impact, safety and what will happen to the land.  Meet Jan:  Thanks for listening!

From shaping early internet technologies to leading CCUS innovation in India, Mr. Atanu Mukherjee shares a compelling perspective on the need for supportive policies, financing models, and industry-wide collaboration to scale CCUS in India's energy transition.Full transcript of the episode is available in EnglishPresented by 101ReportersAtanu Mukherjee is on TwitterFollow TIEH podcast on Twitter, Linkedin & YouTubeOur hosts, Shreya Jai on Twitter, Linkedin & Dr. Sandeep Pai on Twitter, Linkedin

Big tech's data center construction boom is fueling a flurry of natural gas development, despite the fuel's challenges, and it's complicating big tech's climate goals. But carbon capture and storage (CCS) could mitigate emissions from those new plants, and hyperscalers could secure low-carbon power while meeting their needs for speed and reliability.  So how could natural gas with CCS serve data center loads? In this episode, Shayle talks to Julio Friedmann, chief scientist at Carbon Direct, who recently co-authored a couple pieces on the topic. Despite recent high profile cancellations of natural gas projects, Julio makes the case that gas-plus-CCS has attractive advantages, provided the carbon capture actually happens. Shayle and Julio cover topics like: The surprisingly attractive economics, even at lower flue concentrations Where it may be faster and cheaper than renewables, storage, and nuclear The challenges of siting CO2 infrastructure and uncertainty around the 45Q tax credit Whether “CCS-ready” kicks mitigation down the road, like H2 blending Big tech companies like Meta that are signaling interest, but not taking action The range of CCS technologies and the manufacturers jockeying to supply them CCS's uncertain political future in the U.S. Recommended resources: Carbon Direct: Carbon Capture for Natural Gas-Fired Power Generation Carbon Direct: Carbon capture for natural gas-fired power generation: An opportunity for hyperscalers Latitude Media: Where does gas fit in the puzzle of powering AI?
