CCS
Have you heard of tetraamine-functionalized metal organic frameworks? I hadn’t, until recently. This is the new wonder-material that university scientists working with ExxonMobil (do I hear alarm bells ringing yet?) claim captures carbon dioxide emissions up to six times more effectively than conventional amine-based carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Impressed? To me this feels a lot like an attempt to perpetuate business-as-usual. I’m far more impressed by the strategy of BP, which is pledging to cut its fossil fuel production by 40% by 2030. Natural climate solutions already exist – and they don’t cost the Earth; quite the opposite.
