Sharing the findings on Twitter , BNEF's head of sustainable materials Julia Attwood described the estimated $278bn price tag for decarbonising a sector responsible for some seven per cent of global emissions was a "bargain". BNEF calculates that 25 per cent of steel is currently made in electric furnaces, with five per cent using DRI.

Labour's Party Conference kicked off yesterday, with the new tag line 'A Fairer, Greener Future' on prominent display, and the opening policy announcement coming in the form of a commitment to deliver a net zero emissions power system by 2030, a full five years earlier than the government's current 2035 target date. In 2022 - surely not.

But today, Ember has published a study that calculates the BECCS project could require £31.7bn in government subsidy over its lifetime - more than the controversial Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. As a result, Drax is entirely reliant on public subsidy to operate."

According to reports, the Truss administration is planning to impose a cap on the wholesale price of gas, with the government stepping in to subsidise the difference between the new price cap and the true market price of fossil gas, effectively handing billions of pounds of taxpayer cash to gas companies.

But climate and energy experts have been quick to slam the fuel duty cut as both environmentally and socially regressive, noting the move will benefit more affluent citizens who tend to own the most polluting vehicles and do nothing to alleviate the cost of living for poorer people dependent on public transport for travel.

They are also absorbing nearly 30% of all global emissions from burning fossil fuels – far more than any proposed technology – and if managed differently, could store twice their current amounts. The counter-productive taxpayer-funded subsidies for this destructive and climate threatening industry must end!”.

Next month, the energy price cap had been set to rise above £3,500, up from just under £2,000 at present, and almost entirely because of expensive fossil gas. The huge price-tag for this unprecedented intervention lays bare the cost of our reliance on volatile and expensive gas.

Summary - Over 20% of all Dutch emissions are coming from the Port of Rotterdam, of which the production of grey hydrogen from fossil feedstock is one of the main culprits. The end goal is to create circular fuel for the maritime industry in Rotterdam. Why focus on creating sustainable marine fuels? Lots of green hydrogen.

Summary - Over 20% of all Dutch emissions are coming from the Port of Rotterdam, of which the production of grey hydrogen from fossil feedstock is one of the main culprits. If we want to create synthetic fuel for the marine industry and use hydrogen as a feedstock, we could end up needing in excess of 50GW. Lots of green hydrogen.

Addressing the Commons earlier, Truss said the government would cap typical household energy bills at £2,500 for the next two years, while also temporarily suspending environmental levies currently added to energy bills that are used to fund legacy renewables subsidies and energy efficiency schemes. This support does not come cheap.

In March, over 300 climate and environmental justice advocacy groups sent a letter to Congress, arguing that subsidizing carbon capture “could entrench the fossil economy for decades to come.”. Instead, the proposed CO2 pipeline network would be used to offer a lifeline to existing fossil fuel power plants.

For starters, at Exxon’s Shute Creek, nearly all of the CO2 separated from the extracted fossil gas either has been sold, for a profit, to other drillers to use for squeezing out hard-to-recover oil elsewhere (a process called enhanced oil recovery) or vented back into the atmosphere.
