Carbon capture and storage
The IPCC stated that the implementation of CCS faces multiple barriers, including technological, economic, institutional, ecological-environmental, and socio-cultural challenges.
|

Dry-ice blasting
A Florida-based entrepreneur and founder of the DryceNation community began sharing the new dry ice pellet crushing method, which was particularly well-received by the collector car industry.
|
| 2020 |
Carbon capture and storage
A federal investigation reveals that claimants for the 45Q tax credit failed to document successful geological storage for nearly $900 million of the $1 billion claimed.
|
| 2020 |
Carbon capture and storage
A scientific review examined the emissions impact of carbon capture with Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), finding that research papers were evenly divided on whether this approach increased or decreased overall emissions.
|
| 2020 |
Carbon capture and storage
A CO2 pipeline ruptured following a mudslide near Satartia, Mississippi, resulting in a serious accident. About 200 people were evacuated, 45 were hospitalized, and some experienced longer-term health effects. The high CO2 concentrations caused vehicle engines to stop running, which complicated rescue efforts.

ICS Ice Cleaning Systems, a Slovakian company, patented a set of crushing rollers that allow operators to control the fractional size of dry ice pellets from the international standard 3mm to 1.5mm and smaller through an electronic button.
|
| 2014 |
Carbon capture and storage
The IPCC estimated that avoiding Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) would make it 138% more expensive to keep global warming within 2 degrees Celsius.
