As the California Air Resources Board meets today to discuss rules for a “Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization and Storage Program” a new report by @biofuelwatch.bsky.social exposes how California is doubling down on speculative carbon removal instead of cutting emissions at source.
Risky geoengineering experiments shouldn’t happen at all, no matter how carefully they’re framed as research or solutions.

Ammonia for synthetic fertilizers is largely made using fossil gas and is energy intensive, with emissions released during production and use. #CCS makes this worse, requiring even more energy to capture emissions.
CCS risks becoming a costly way for polluters to keep polluting.

Is Europe’s largest carbon capture project ‘a pass to keep polluting’?
Carbon capture and storage has been found to be “technically uncertain and very high cost”.

Last year’s ICJ AO affirmed: Governments have a clear legal duty to stop climate harm at its source.
Real solutions exist: holding polluters accountable, empowering frontline communities, and a rapid and just phaseout of fossil fuels.

Overshooting a global temperature rise of 1.5°C isn’t a license to gamble on technofixes that shift the burden to future generations. It’s a mandate to cut emissions now — starting with a rapid, just phaseout of fossil fuels.

A new @unep.org report warns of massive risk from exceeding 1.5°C global warming. Yet it fails to put a fast, fair, funded fossil fuel phase-out at the center of how governments fulfill their legal obligations.
Here’s why that’s a problem. 🧵
