NOTE.. This for me is a typical ‘tech fix’.. it could work,but if they can harness waste heat from power stations they’re much more likely to turn it into electricity and make more money! mikegilli).
…The IEA just said we’ll need 3000 carbon capture and storage projects by 2050 if we’re too reduce greenhouse gas emissions enough to avert potentially catastrophic global warming. Considering that there are just five currently operating and 75 in planning stages, and there’s a strong contingent of researchers expressing doubt about that scale of CCS being feasible, it’s a daunting challenging ahead, no doubt. Well, Greentech Media is highlighting an interesting way of meeting that challenge:
[Global Thermostat] essentially captures the heat from power plants and/or industrial equipment to drive its CO2 capture equipment…..ETC ETC
