- The government has pledged almost £22 billion over the next 25 years for carbon capture and storage technology.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
The funds will go towards projects in Teeside and Merseyside - which ministers said would provide vital new jobs and investment as well as help the UK to meet its climate goals.
But some critics say the highly expensive technology could lock the country into "second rate solutions" - when greener alternatives might exist.

We are an island nation, if we want to capture carbon we should invest in restoring and creating more wetlands, yours sincerely an environmental scientist.
A great point that is often overlooked.
It’s all a scam. Not clean energy. That’s great. This is a scam perpetrated by a party that would once have called it out
Well Drainer Rayner is already on it. Carry on building on floodplains, that will create lots of wetlands
I think building carbon captures nearer to china is the best
@@charlieisdead8473 Carbon capture doesn't work whether it's nearer China or not.
Now it's a £44 billion black hole.
Nope it's a £22 billion black hole, This is the black hole.
@@brinsmo1 Not really a blackhole, this is closer to just burning the money while laughing in our faces.
£22 Billion for an unproven theory. Minus £300 for pensioners Winter fuel support! You could not make it up. Shame on Labour!
They aren't getting rid of winter fuel but they are ending giving it to everybody willy nilly. My parents are loaded. They don't need an extra £200. People need to chill out about that. No pun intended lol
@@sheep3370
Yes, but not everybody are like your parents. If you are just a few pounds over the threshold you lose the whole £300! Many many pensioners will either go without heat or eating this Winter season. That is tens, if not hundreds of thousands! Even if pensioners spend the allowance on other things, because they are reasonably well off, the government gets 20% back in VAT immediately, also the rest goes to keep businesses running who pay lots of tax! So in reality the money just goes round in a circle back to the government. There are £millions not claimed by those who could, the government acknowledge that, so that could go towards keeping pensioners warm this Winter.
These people are insane.
Carbon capture is BS.
Your comment is BS.
@@ABloodyEyeFull He's right, the overall consensus on carbon capture from scientists is that it's very very ineffective to solving the problem.
Creating another £22 billion black hole??
There proper b@stard's mate
Look at that name to stop scrounging and go home
@@aelbereth6690
Another ‘black hole’ is in the minds and hearts of the Labour Party!
Carbon capture requires as much energy (or more) than what’s liberated in producing the carbon for which they seek to capture.
It will double energy prices…it’s a scam. It’s ridiculous.
Worse the hydrogen cars!!!
@@memrjohnnoNo, hydrogen is the future. We can't keep burning fossil fuel!
Direct air capture for CO2 is hugely expensive in its current form, better off encouraging natural techniques bogs and wetlands
@@MrJaykay12345 Yep. Get the plants to do it.
@@memrjohnno The title of the article pertains to “carbon capture”, not hydrogen cars.
Splitting water to separate out the hydrogen and oxygen requires electricity. In order to make that energy, one would want to use solar or wind to produce that energy in a green agenda. One has to use energy to mine the materials needed to make both.
I hear trees like catching carbon.
Ah but there will be no trees once the green and pleasant land is concreted over for new houses, it will be "Let them eat concrete" last time someone said " Let em eat cake" it caused a revolution!
That's a conspiracy! 😂 just not so good at capturing public funds.
Another total BS for billing the tax payer
£22 billion? 😂. it’ll be £75 billion by the time they’ve finished. Another money pit like HS2.
Just plant more trees?
Seriously?
Well that will be a tad hard as they are planning to concrete over the green and pleasant land with a million plus homes - our farms are obsolete as we can import from places like Ukraine... oh wait they are at war, maybe China or N Korea will supply us
Well done Channel 4 News for shining light on the ridiculous hydrogen con. It's a real shame Ed Miliband has fallen for this. We should electrify as much as possible and focus on investing in these easy wins (renewables, battery storage, EVs and heat pumps)
The amount of the so called £22b black hole they couldn’t find. Oh here is it
Keir, you're circumventing the elephant in the room.
Carbon capture isn't necessary. The money would better spent on lowing our use of fuel and creating less waste in the first place.
This is like saying let's build more nuclear power stations instead of embracing wind and hydro power.
So glad I didn't vote for him.
I agree. Also vat on luxury goods. Tax the rich. That brings down emissions and doesn’t cause job losses
It's just a money making scheme.
@@krob2327 Define luxury goods?
@@krob2327 It could cause job losses if the brains who create the businesses take their factories out of the country like Dyson did! I think you forget it is the ones that create ideas that need to be encouraged as they provide work. Even "luxury" goods generate incomes, jobs etc
@@brinsmo1 private jet. First class flights. Range Rover. Bentley
Traitors the lot of them 😅😅😅
😊Another £22 billion wasted.
I see that's where the black hole has gone.. 🤔🤫🤬
why not use the money to replace old plants with nuclear power instead
this isnt clean energy
Carbon Capture doesn't Work
Twiggy Forrest Mining boss in Australia tried it and then stopped
Because its rubbish
This labour has too many donors
It's not about if it works,it's about some people making a lot of money.With the help of the government.Just by chance,some politicians may also benefit from this financially.
@@ravenmad9225 bingo.
CCS is too expensive, hence use cheaper renewable sources. The capture part works at low cost but guaranteed storage is very specific to site and nowhere has it been cost completive w/o carbon credits at a very high price.
LOL yet another BS strategy!
Carbon makes plants GROW. Carbon isn’t a waste product.
Above 40 Celsius, plants stop photosynthesising. Machine carbon capture doesn't work. It is a waste of your money and they know it.
Who’s is far left sugar daddy this week? 😂
I'm guessing most people have already recognised that trees are the perfect carbon capture storage devices on the planet, work in total harmony with nature and cannot be improved upon, fact.
If they were serious, about climate change they'd plant a forest with a proven track record in storing carbon. Not many jobs there mind
Where do they find another £ 22 billion from the taxes company pays which drives companies out off england less jobs higher taxes less companies less jobs higher taxes do they not understand this
Common mathematics.
Where is this magic money tree??
The money tree is higher taxes for us.
It's 6bn less than the green investment bill that would actually help us.
From Angela Rayner's Only Fans account.
Well at least as pensioners suffer in the cold & winter over the years they can be happy knowing that in about 40-50yrs time someone might invent a capsule that captures energy.
How many pensioners do you know that really desperately need £150?
@@hansiesma16 the very fact you think that shows how out of touch you truly are.
@@hiramabiff2017 last winter I had the heating off so much that I had to throw away 3 blackout blinds and every plant in the house died of cold. Meanwhile I know plenty millionaire pensioners over 80 who were getting £600 for the winter. One old bird has her heating on all day and all night, courtesy of…. me and you. Poor pensioners with their assets, savings and inheritances.
@@hansiesma16that's hot air right there.
@@unatwomey7112 no my little Simple Simon. That there is all the truth. Too much for you obviously
Whats the point of trying to empty the bath with a thimble while the taps are still running ? - stop releasing co2 and methane first place, get serious!!!!
Starmer told his ministers to repeat ad nauseum the £22 billion black hole. It will now spend £22 billion on carbon capture. Where did he find the money- from his freebies?
They could just plant more trees,but there wouldn't be much money to be made by doing that.Not as much as these businesses deals they make with certain associates.
Plant potatoes, carrots, and leeks, etc, because this technology thing will never last.
A former Starmer staffer is now head lobbyist for this Carbon Capture and Storage. Labour and Miliband have been nobbled by the dirty fuel industry and it is pathetic to see.
Meanwhile, the public will pay the cost with high energy bills.
LUNACY !
Why do I feel that this is another white elephant or should that be green.We don't make anything in the uk anymore.
Madness when we buy in energy, oil abd gas. 90% of what we buy and manufacture overseas come from counties that burn coal.
What an enormous waste of money...
Meanwhile Angela Raynor opens fog platting factory..
What is fog platting?
@@hansiesma16 Exactly!
What happened to renewable energy and energy security ? Carbon capture systems are not renewable, not sustainable and are unproven technology on a large scale. Furthermore they may also increase pollution form other means since the chemicals used to scrub the gases will need to be disposed of when degraded. A gas fired power station using carbon capture uses more gas than one without since you require additional energy to process and transport the flue gases and hence make any electricity generated more expensive. What happened to making electricity prices cheaper ? What happened to lowering our reliance on imported hydrocarbons ? Carbon capture will never remove all the CO2 either - maybe 90% so not carbon neutral also. Someone has been reading too many "reports" circulated by big oil.
I guess the next big idea will be the hydrogen superhighway that the big oil companies have been promoting in the EU. Just convert natural gas to hydrogen. Job done ! I thought the gov climate change committee were technologically savvy but it sound like gullible fools. Mr Milliband ought to explain himself.
Timing is great. 1. Ofgem increases prices. 2. Cancel winter allowance. 3. Talk about 22bn black hole for a while. 3. Waste 22bn on CC.
how does this help us??
Labour Governments are very good at wasting huge amounts of money, this has the makings to waste even more.
thanks for doing your job and denouncing all this!
This is the talk of big oil , total vaporware . Demand side storage and investment in battery technology is needed
It’s a scam. We very much need clean energy but this is a fudge
What a strage form of delivery by the reporter. It's not Shakespeare, dear! And stop that vocal fry with your voice, it sounds ridiculous.
This is absolute rubbish. Capture carbon & store it under the sea? What does Ed Milliband know about anything.
I think that it is an excellent idea! Even though the country will be burning fossil fuels, why not!? The only reason that we do not use fossil fuels is because we had no way of coping with the carbon dioxide. Now we do.
you can buy a lot of trees for 22bn maintenance free and reusable resource for future generations
It's called plants
Question: so if were simply storing the carbon under the sea i imagine in some form of silo how is that any better? My understanding is from this that were storing it instead of releasing it so there will be a limit and some will still be released
We need more green water. More microplancton without endangering wildlife. High tech is not the solution. That's what created the problem.
Of course billioners who benefit from oil industry, will not like the Kier Starmer's plan related to blue hidrojen
How long will this policy last ? A week ? Two?
Ecofascism.
Carbon capture gives poluters the excuse they need to go on. They should pay for carbon capture.
Exactly. Smells like Liebour is planning to repay their corporate sponsors in this case.
Even I know this is not a good idea.
Total bullshit
Dear Sir Keir, make vegans wear fart bags to capture greenhouse gas carbon emissions.
ok so 22 billion funny thats the same amount that pensioner's lost their heating allowance for, whos paying for that? perhaps give pensioner's a breathing tax of say £300 to pay for it !!!!!!!.
looks to me just another way of giving moneys to chums, and what will it achieve ? nothing as far as i can see.
perhaps the carbon extracted can be passed back proportionally to those who make it globally, keeping 1% less the total amount of carbon that plant life and water absorbs in the uk.
sound funny like having a hole in the bucket you carrying water to the sea £22 billion with no return you was missing from the budget last year ?
It's nuts
Labour giving taxpayers !oney to subsidise the continuation of fossil fuels. This is a big experiment. We don't know if they will successfully store the carbon under the sea for the length of the scheme. The carbon has to stay there forever and who will maintain the well casings sfter that?
They are building at least one new gas fired power station with this scheme, so 25 years of more and more fossil fuel subsidy instead of subsidising the establishment of a strong renewable energy sector.
Stop the criminal!!
Labour doing more tory policies.
What a silly sausage 2 tier is, who is your benefactor Sir Tool? You should have gone to Spec Savers, buy one get one free and it would have saved you a lot of controversy!
Sold a pup by the oil and gas companies. Chasing fools gold.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ not quite s-creek territory but close. Renewables are already undercutting the cost of of fossil-fuel energy - spending that amount of money on the transition would ensure best bang for the buck.
Just build nuclear power
Ahh, the exact same £22,000,000,000 size hole the tories left.........well colour me surprised.
Emperors new clothes !!!!
What a load of malarkey
When the future historians look back in history to this time, they’ll p iss themselves laughing as we
do on window taxes of the 1600’s
It's a white elephant to give so called meaningful jobs when you could plant a forest, the best carbon capture devices on the planet but it wouldn't give anyone a meaningless job would it, oops did I say meaningless. Obviously meaningful jobs. You have a job, you get paid.
yo do you know how much carbon is in the sewage overflow each year I think British fish has no air
Always smelly and rotten .. wonder why?
they just going to 'store it' - yeah right! rubbish science
More 🐂💩!
4000 gigatons we've dumped. Try calculating the volume for storage __even__ if we had the tech @ gigaton level capture. If you did, the volume would be ~== 4 x Earth's volume. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It does not work. It burn more carbon than it generates. They know it. Nuclear has more going for it than this.
but it does nothing - its a total waste of taxpayers money
