Carbon capture and storage technology is discussed in the context of enabling blue hydrogen production from natural gas while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
Given Sally Benson's background and expertise, carbon capture and storage technology is discussed extensively as a key component of achieving net zero emissions, particularly in heavy industry.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on discussing the potential of CCS technologies in decarbonizing various sectors, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with scaling up these technologies.
The episode explores the potential role of CCS technologies in decarbonization efforts, particularly in response to Elon Musk's $100 million prize for carbon capture innovations.
CCS technology is highlighted as one of the major strategies for reducing emissions from cement production.
CCS is repeatedly mentioned as a potential technology for reducing emissions in both the steel and cement industries, with discussions around its feasibility, costs, and challenges.
The podcast episodes discuss the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in decarbonizing various sectors, such as heavy industry, power generation, and transportation.
Several episodes explore the potential benefits and limitations of CCS, including its ability to enable the continued use of fossil fuels while reducing emissions, as well as the challenges around the technology's costs, scalability, and deployment. Examples of relevant episodes include Dissecting Carbon Management Technologies, The Race to Green Steel, and For the Love of Concrete.
The episodes also discuss the role of CCS in the production of 'blue' hydrogen, where the carbon emissions are captured and stored, as well as its potential application in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement manufacturing.
