Podcasts about carbon capture

Martha Hall Findlay, director of the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy and one of the original architects of the Pathways carbon capture proposal, explains why she believes the project should have been postponed despite the recent agreement between Ottawa, Alberta, and the five oilsands companies behind it. Yet if that compromise is the political price of securing a new West Coast pipeline, she argues it may ultimately be worth it. Hall Findlay also discusses the corporate incentives that may still be needed to spur new oilsands investment, the politics of so-called corporate welfare, potential opposition within the Liberal Party, and whether Canadians can be persuaded to support the “grand bargain.”This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Peter Mazereeuw speaks with the Pembina Institute's Janetta McKenzie about the deal between the Oil Sands Alliance and the governments of Canada and Alberta to build a carbon capture and storage system for the oil patch. 

Today's MOU is a key piece of the puzzle to getting a new West Coast pipeline built, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the project is key to her goal of doubling oil sands production. But is the Pathways carbon capture and storage network the best way to bring down oil and gas emissions in Canada? Vassy digs deeper with Professor Chris Ragan, who is the Founding Director of McGill University’s Max Bell School of Public Policy.

All the cool kids are doing it! ------------- In 2004, Princeton professors Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow published a paper in Science Magazine called "Stabilization Wedges: Solving the Climate Problem for the Next 50 Years with Current Technologies".  This paper gained wide popularity for its proposed solutions that it claimed were a comprehensive strategy to reduce emission levels over the next 50 years.  Even though the goal of this paper was a pathway to reduced emissions, it didn't call for the complete phase out of fossil fuels, but rather proposed fossil fuels play a significant role in our energy system for decades.  If that seems strange to you, you're not alone. Drilled and ProPublica have teamed up to release a new series titled "Beyond Denial", which examines the influence of fossil fuel industry funding on climate research and its subsequent impact on policy, public debate and our approach to environmental solutions. Series reporters Maddie Stone and Katie Worth join The Climate Pod to discuss what they found in their reporting intob who was funding the 2004 "Wedges" paper, the unfulfilled promises of Carbon Capture and Sequestration, and the critical need for climate journalism in 2026.

Since February, companies have canceled plans for over $15 billion in carbon capture projects in Louisiana. Has the potential economic boom from the industry fizzled away? Greg Upton, Director of LSU's Energy Institute, joins us.

* Since February, companies have canceled plans for over $15 billion in carbon capture projects in Louisiana. Has the potential economic boom from the industry fizzled away? * Will the recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance have practical impacts on elections? We'll break it down with John Martin, a professor at Quinnipiac University

This week, Chris checks out the sensation of human-made SpudCells, which are not exactly alive but can do many of the things living cells can, as announced recently in press releases rather than peer review; and Stu checks in on carbon capture and storage for removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and how it's unlikely to deliver on its promise.

Canadian carbon removal startup Deep Sky has delivered North America's first direct air capture carbon credits, a small but important milestone for a technology that companies and governments are increasingly betting on to offset emissions from AI, energy, and industrial projects. Plus, the Magnificent Seven stocks are losing steam as investors start questioning whether Big Tech's massive AI spending spree will actually translate into profits.And in The Big Picture: Ottawa is relaunching a home retrofit program, Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into a new public company, and TIDAL is cracking down on AI-generated music by cutting off monetization.The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com

CCS steht für Carbon Capture and Storage: Kohlenstoff auffangen und speichern. Im Winter hat die Bundesregierung den Weg für diese Technik geebnet, die den Klimawandel eindämmen soll. Jetzt bringen sich erste Unternehmen in Norddeutschland in Stellung! Aber was bringt die Technik, die wiederum viel Energie benötigt? Und welche Risiken gibt es? Das klären Arne Schulz und Alex Drost in 10 Minuten Wirtschaft.

The fourth seminar in the Powering the Future series was presented by Dr. David Kearns from the Global CCS Institute.Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly recognised as essential to achieving net zero, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals and LNG. This seminar examined the role of CCS in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region, where industrial emissions, energy demand growth and existing infrastructure make carbon management especially important. The presentation outlined why most credible climate pathways include large-scale CCS deployment, and how the technology is evolving alongside broader decarbonisation efforts.The seminar also explored recent advances in CCS policy, deployment and technology development across Australia and the region, including new projects, carbon management hubs and cross-border collaboration. Alongside this progress, it will address the major barriers still limiting deployment — including policy uncertainty, investment and infrastructure challenges, and the need for stronger market incentives. The discussion concluded with a practical assessment of what is needed to accelerate CCS deployment and strengthen Australia's role as a regional leader in carbon management.You'll find a "recording of the event here".

What happens after carbon is captured? In this special collaboration with How We Survive, Living Planet follows CO₂ from a cement factory to its final resting place more than a mile beneath the seabed. We investigate the promise, pitfalls and politics of a technology that could help tackle climate change - or prolong the fossil fuel era.

We can't avoid catastrophic warming without also capturing and storing carbon dioxide — both the carbon we've already emitted and the carbon we continue to emit through industries that are tough to decarbonize, like steel, petrochemicals, and cement.Europe is a leader in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), with a goal of storing at least 50 million tons of captured CO2 a year by the end of this decade.So this episode, we team up with Germany-based reporter Sam Baker from the DW podcast “Living Planet.” We follow carbon dioxide from its source at a cement plant, all the way to its final resting place under the North Sea. And we look beyond the hype to see if Carbon Capture and Storage could be a real climate solution. Or just another way for the fossil fuel industry to keep on drilling.

Going into the session, carbon capture was expected to be one of the big topics. So what ended up happening? We'll talk about it with Greg Upton, the executive director of LSU's Energy Institute.

Send us Fan MailThis is the second episode in a three-part WTR Symposium Series on investment opportunities in industrial decarbonization and the circular resource economy. Shawn Severson and Peter Gastreich are joined by Gevo (GEVO), Alto Ingredients (ALTO), CapCO2, and LSB Industries (LXU) to explore how carbon has shifted from a compliance cost to a profit driver across aviation fuel, marine fuels, specialty alcohols, and fertilizers, and how regulatory tailwinds, accelerated by the Strait of Hormuz crisis, are reshaping the opportunity for investors in Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS). 

Send us Fan MailFew issues came up during the most recent session of the Louisiana Legislature concerning sustainable forestry, but there were come very important ones. Minding the Forest talks to Louisiana Forestry Association Executive Director Buck Vandersteen about the session that wrapped up Monday, June 1, 2026. Much of the bills that could affect sustainable forestry came through environmental committees in the State House and State Senate. Carbon Capture also was an issue in several bills that could have affected several industries, including the forest products industry. Minding the Forest is a podcast of the Louisiana Forestry Association and his hosted by LFA Media Specialist Jeff Zeringue.

How does carbon capture actually work, and what does it take to make it commercial? Jörn Jakob, Director Innovation at EEW, and Eike Diedecke, who oversees the carbon capture pilot at the Delfzijl site, share what they are learning from the pilot project. What you'll hear in this episode: • Where the CO2 in waste actually comes from, and the impact of different waste compositions • How the capture process works step by step • What needs to fall into place for carbon capture to scale The episode also covers why EEW chose the Netherlands as the first pilot site, and where the team is looking for partners on capture technology and CO2 utilisation. This is the fourth episode in "Incineration in the Circular Economy," a series sponsored by NEEW Ventures.

Michael Jewett is a pioneer of cell-free biotechnology. Instead of using living microbes as factories, he uses their internal molecular machinery to make valuable proteins, medicines, diagnostics, and other chemicals. Jewett recently used the technique for vaccine production in an approach that could produce up to 150,000 doses from one liter. He believes cell-free biotech could democratize the production of essential medicines, improve water safety, and help convert atmospheric carbon into useful products, among other promising possibilities. “It's just-add-water biotechnology,” Jewett tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Send me a messageAI may be booming, but the real bottleneck to it's growth may be turbines. And if firm power can't scale fast enough, parts of the energy transition hit a wall.In this episode, I'm joined by Brad Hartwig, Co-founder and CEO of Arbor Energy, to unpack a part of the climate tech and energy transition story that gets far too little attention: the physical machinery needed to deliver reliable, round-the-clock power. Arbor is developing modular supercritical CO2 turbines with integrated carbon capture, aimed at tackling one of the hardest problems in decarbonisation: how to provide firm, scalable electricity while still driving emissions reduction and keeping net zero in view.We dig into why turbine shortages are becoming a serious constraint on hyperscale data centres, utilities, and industrial electrification, and you'll hear why Brad believes this is now a critical choke point for both AI infrastructure and climate progress. You might be surprised to learn how stretched the traditional turbine supply chain has become, and why legacy manufacturers may be structurally mismatched to meet the moment.We also get into oxy-combustion, methane leakage, biomass, carbon sequestration, long-duration storage, and the awkward reality that wind, solar, batteries, and grid expansion, while essential, may still leave gaps when it comes to firm power. This is a grounded conversation about climate tech, policy, energy transition strategy, and what serious infrastructure thinking looks like when the easy slogans run out.

Louisiana State Senator Rick Edmonds, who represents part of Livingston Parish, has entered the race for state's 5th Congressional District. He speaks with Livingston Parish News Managing Editor Melanie David about his past, faith, and family and how that affects his politics.

If you work in energy, heavy industry, construction, engineering, or policy, or you're trying to understand where credible long term work will come from in the UK, this episode matters. Carbon capture often gets talked about in abstract terms, but behind it are real projects, real jobs, and real decisions being made right now that will shape industrial careers for decades.In this episode, I'm joined by Olivia Powis, CEO of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, to talk about what carbon capture actually looks like on the ground: how the industry is being built, where the projects are, what skills are needed, and why timing matters for people considering their next move.We discuss how carbon capture links decarbonisation with job protection, why the UK is well positioned to lead if it moves quickly enough, and what this means for graduates, mid career professionals, and those transitioning from oil and gas, construction, or heavy industry.Key takeaways⚙️ Carbon capture is no longer theoretical Multiple UK projects have reached final investment decision, with more than 100 in the pipeline. This is now an execution challenge, not a technology debate.

John speaks with Michelle Manook about the realities of Australia's energy system, the misconceptions driving policy, and the widening gap between ideology and practical national interest. Manook explains why technological advances in sustainable coal production, including Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and High Efficiency Low Emissions (HELE) power plants, make coal a legitimate energy option for our future. The discussion urges Australians to re-examine the assumptions embedded in net zero narratives, the economic risks posed by unreliable power, and the strategic necessity of maintaining a diverse and resilient energy mix. This is a grounded, forward-looking discussion about how nations sustain prosperity and stability in an increasingly uncertain world. Michelle Manook is Chief Executive of FutureCoal. Previously, she was Head of Strategy, Government and Communications for Europe, Asia and Africa for the multinational company Orica, based in Perth, Australia.

A new European Union initiative to store carbon dioxide beneath the North Sea is set to launch its operations next year. But environmental activists are concerned carbon capture technologies dissuade industries from acting to reduce fossil fuel emissions.

The term "carbon capture" is getting tossed around a lot by Canadian politicians these days. What's actually being talked about is carbon capture, utilization and storage or CCUS. The technology is promoted as a way to help Canada reach its climate goals, even as the country keeps exporting oil. So what exactly is it? How does it work? And does it actually help reduce fossil fuel emissions?

The permitting process for carbon-capture projects is, in some ways, like navigating Houston's notorious rush-hour traffic — if everyone tries to move at once, gridlock can quickly ensue. That's true at both the federal level, where the EPA has more sequestration wells under review than ever before, and at the state level, where Louisiana just hit the pause button on its reviews. In today's RBN blog, we look at how increased interest in carbon capture has exacerbated the permitting backlog.

This special episode of Interchange Recharged brings together finance, law, and technology leaders shaping the path to commercial carbon capture. Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez explores how capital, regulation, and innovation are converging to turn early-stage CCUS projects into bankable reality.The conversation opens with Omer Farooq, Head of Sustainable Asset Finance at Bank of America, on how one of the world's largest banks is approaching carbon capture — from financing first-of-a-kind projects to assessing new business models and risk structures. Omer explains why point-source capture is already investable, why direct air capture still has hurdles to clear, and why incentives like 45Q remain the backbone of the economics. “Policy drives energy,” he says, “and transport and permitting are the next frontiers.”Next, Liz McGinley, Partner at Bracewell LLP, joins to unpack the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape. She discusses the expanded 45Q tax credit, the lingering uncertainty around the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, and why the slow pace of pipeline permitting has become a bottleneck for deployment. Yet, she says, investor confidence is growing fast — driven by clarity on incentives and insurance mechanisms to manage geological risk.Finally, Shahul Hameed, Vice President of Global Oil & Gas Measurement Instrumentation at Emerson, explains how technology is catching up with policy. He shares how decades of oil and gas expertise are being repurposed for CO₂ transport and storage, and how automation, measurement accuracy, and data integrity are helping to de-risk projects. From AI-driven analytics to mass-based metering, Shahul outlines how precision is becoming the new currency of CCUS.From finance and legal frameworks to field-level innovation, this episode captures the mood on the ground in Houston — one of optimism, collaboration, and rapid evolution. As Sylvia concludes, “Finance follows certainty. The incentives are there, the technology is advancing, and the industry is learning fast.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump administration has canceled funding for nearly half of the federally backed megaprojects designed to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — a major blow to the U.S. direct air capture industry that had flourished under former President Joe Biden. Corbin Hiar from POLITICO's E&E News breaks down how these cuts could reshape the future of U.S. carbon removal, why the projects matter for climate goals, and what this decision signals about the administration's approach to energy innovation. Plus, the Supreme Court on Friday said it will take up an appeal from Exxon Mobil as the energy giant attempts to recoup economic losses caused when its Cuban assets were seized by Fidel Castro's revolution in the early 1960s.

Steve Oldham is CEO of Captura. Captura develops Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology that removes CO₂ from seawater, triggering the ocean to draw more CO₂ from the air to rebalance. With CO₂ concentrations ~150× higher in seawater than air, Captura's closed-loop process uses electrodialysis to create acid and base on site—no added chemicals, no waste—and can run largely on off-peak renewable energy. Oldham, former CEO of Carbon Engineering, contrasts DOC with DAC, discusses MRV and crediting, deployment pathways (onshore, barges, vessels), his company's pilot progress in Hawaii, and why pragmatic scale-up and licensing partnerships matter for gigaton carbon removal. Episode recorded on Aug 28, 2025 (Published on Sept 30, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [02:17] Steve's path from Carbon Engineering to Captura[05:30] How Direct Ocean Capture actually works[09:10] Closed-loop design with no waste products[10:14] Using electrodialysis to split acid and base[13:12] Deployment options: onshore plants, barges, vessels[14:39] Running on off-peak and curtailed renewables[16:30] Measuring and crediting carbon drawdown[21:53] Balancing CO₂ use vs. permanent storage[25:22] Policy gaps like 45Q for ocean removal[35:15] Captura's Kona pilot built in 70 days[37:33] First commercial project expected in Europe Enjoyed this episode?

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi discusses subsidies for carbon capture and storage (CCS) with Sheila Olmstead, a professor at the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and a senior faculty fellow at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. Olmstead evaluates the complicated nature of the 45Q policy, a federal subsidy available to firms that implement CCS. While CCS subsidy programs promote the reduction of carbon emissions, Olmstead identifies these subsidies as having the potential to financially burden the federal government, discourage clean energy projects, and motivate more pollution.

As fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, there is renewed interest in what can be done to capture carbon dioxide. Until now, most of the investment in carbon capture has gone into projects to take those emissions and store them underground forever. But what if we could make use of that captured carbon? To find out what role carbon capture and utilization, or CCU, could play in tackling climate change, host Ed Crooks is joined by three experts in the sector. He is joined by Sarah Lamaison, who is the CEO and co-founder of CCU start-up Dioxycle, Tim van den Bergh, the climate tech innovation lead at the World Economic Forum, and John Ferrier, a senior research analyst at Wood Mackenzie. Together they unpack what CCU actually is (and isn't), and where it can deliver the biggest punch; for example in the chemical industry, which is a sector in large part built on carbon.Sarah explains how Dioxycle's carbon electrolysis can turn carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into high-value molecules such ethylene using electricity and water. It is effectively “dual” decarbonization: it uses captured carbon instead of fossil feedstock, and also avoids process emissions.But despite those compelling advantages, CCU faces some steep challenges. The gang examines the policy landscape, and the economics that can make or break CCU projects. John outlines why support has historically skewed toward carbon storage rather than utilization: it offers measurable, near-term reductions and simpler business models. To accelerate the growth of CCU, it needs clearer incentives, and standardized lifecycle assessment of carbon emitted and avoided. Sarah compares Europe's current framework, which can disadvantage CCU, with more supportive tax credits that are available in the US. She explains that the choice of product to be made using CCU really matters. For fuels, conventional feedstocks such as crude oil and natural gas are hard to beat on cost. For complex chemical pathways, there is room for CCU to undercut incumbents as efficiency improves. Tim looks at the system level, calling for global, aligned policies, early markets in cost-competitive niches and “patient capital” to bridge the valley of death that innovative companies face as they scale up.There's a strong case that can be made for CCU, if policy, finance, and industry can travel in the same direction. This episode explains what would be needed to make that a reality, taking businesses from promising pilots to deployment at scale and cost parity with conventional feedstocks.UpLink is a World Economic Forum initiative focused on impactful early-stage innovation.

When you think about climate change solutions, your mind might go to renewable energy, electric vehicles, or eating less meat. These are all of course important. But even if we stopped all emissions today, we'd still have too much CO2 in the atmosphere and would need to pull a lot of our emissions out of it. That's the bold mission of Aircapture, a California-based company pioneering modular direct air capture technology. On this episode, I speak with Matt Atwood, Aircapture's founder and CEO, about how his company is not only working to reduce atmospheric CO₂, but also profitably supplying it to industries that rely on the gas today—like beverage makers, greenhouses, and more. Instead of relying on fossil fuel byproducts or ethanol fermentation for their CO₂, companies can now get a cleaner, more reliable, and often cheaper supply directly from the air. Matt explains how Aircapture's approach differs from traditional large-scale carbon capture projects by focusing on on-site, modular units that can be shipped in a container and installed within weeks. These systems already commercially operate in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, giving customers local CO₂ while shrinking supply chain emissions. We dig into the economics of direct air capture, the climate math of whether it truly reduces atmospheric carbon, and the criticisms that it could provide a “moral license” to keep burning fossil fuels. Matt also shares how Aircapture recently raised a $50 million Series A—during a tough climate tech funding market—and what gives investors confidence that their model will scale where others have stumbled. If you've ever wondered whether pulling CO₂ out of thin air is realistic—or just hype—this conversation will give you a fascinating inside look.
