The more I read about #pathways #carbon capture, the more convinced I am that it is smoke and mirrors in an attempt to make another #pipeline and the attendant #emissions more palatable.

Flagship $20B-plus carbon capture project lowered goals in Ottawa-Alberta oilsands deal

Buried in the fine print of the federal-provincial energy 'grand bargain' is a big step-down on Pathways project's CO₂ removal targets, meant to offset emissions linked to proposed new oil pipeline.

@tabmcleo Honestly, 22 million -> 16 million seems barely relevant when the startup cost is 20 billion, never mind the operating costs.

If the best value is $1000/tonne to reduce CO2, we should probably be talking about places like, oh I don't know - public transport - where that $1000 gives actual benefits.
