Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration — and Geothermal Energy
Here’s a very interesting article/video on a twist on CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration) called “CCUS” (Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration), pointing out that once CO2 is captured, say, from a coal-fired power plant, it can be used to enhance the production of geothermal energy.
While there is nothing physically impossible or scientifically invalid about this, it strikes me as extremely expensive and risky – and therefore unattractive from the standpoint of capital formation. I’m glad I invested the time into checking this out, and I encourage readers to do the same, but I’ll be stunned if this ultimately represents a cost-effective approach to new clean energy.
