America’s $1BN Battle To Build World's Largest Carbon Capture Facility

The Stratos project poised to become the world’s largest carbon capture facility. A new $1 billion mega project in USA Texas received a new round of funding lately, America are pressing ahead with construction but the giga project is shrouded in controversy. What is the insane engineering behind this mega project and will it solve the climate crisis?

I wonder, how many trees can be planted for $1.3 billion? And, how much carbon can those trees pull out of the air? And, how much electricity will it take to keep those trees growing? There must be an easier way to reduce the 0.04% CO2 level of the Earth’s atmosphere.

1: Not as many as you probably think.
2: Not nearly as much as industrial capturers.
3: Doesn’t matter. We have unlimited energy.

[@lukeguastaferro7962]

Yes, a carbon capture facility like this can capture more Co2 than any mid size forest such as Olympic Forest in Northwest so we would have to cover every inch of Texas with trees to do get this much carbon captured, however big oil is doing this just to keep selling fossil fuels it’s not the best step, it’s still better to transfer into energy producers for electricity and more easily Hydrogen which is what our cars should be NOT electric.

[@markvalparaiso1690]

Trees alone can't solve the problem. Several carbon capture methods or ALL available must be employed. Although I doubt the oil giants care a bit. It's all about profit. They've never cared about the environment.

[@TexasDroneSpecialist]

Good luck growing that many trees in the west Texas desert.

[@qbmac2306]

I think it's ironic how they want to store the captured carbon underground, where as that's exactly what coal is.

"Differences: 1) There gonna inject the CO2 into oil wells to extract more oil (kinda defeats the point, but that's the use), 2) Its gonna be injected as a gas, so more likely to leak.

Absolute waste of money. Australia is hiding the results for the project before they build. Its a joke..

If Dubai was able to build the Burj Khalifa for $1bn just imagine how monstrous of a carbon capture plant they’d be able to build with the same $1bn price tag of this project right here.
Can’t help but think.

Anti-carbon > anti-humanity.
... never mind the utter pointlessness of it.

If oil companies weren’t taking the initiative and investing heavily in this new carbon capture technology it would be decades before anyone else would at this scale.

[@aaronscott8837]

if this really works then one of these needs to be built near all the largest cities in the country!!!

[@andrewday3206]

So they will provide 1370 tons a day of liquid CO2 to the Texas oil industry. This liquid CO2 will likely be injected into oil wells to keep them pressurized. This makes to oil wells produce more crude oil and enhance revenues.

[@metamaka6538]

I hope this is thought out to help reduce carbon emissions, I hope per area I hope so that a large area can be cleaned, and I hope every country will join in this project to somehow reduce the excessive heat in the world

To pump volume of air containing .5m ton CO2 in a year through 65 acres the air speed must be around 10m/s 20mph. Ah yes, the white smoke is water.

[@robertwilson5615]

So how much energy is needed to transfer the CO2 in the pellets and into the carbonate crystals? Are they going to also build solar panel farms to supply that energy or use fossil fuels and generate as much CO2 as they capture?

[@TexasDroneSpecialist]

They are building a 100 mega watt solar farm next to the plant.

Cheaper making carbon capture on vehicle,,built in on exhaust pipe vehicle produce since on factory❤❤❤also move to electric vehicle or greener vehicle

[@domtweed7323]

How are they powering the CO2 capture?
Are they injecting the CO2 into oil wells to get more output?

[@davidwebb4904]

It runs on Pixie dust and Unicorn farts, which are “green”.

[@jcarp8471]

Hopefully they are using the CO2 to get more oil. That way, this whole project will at least be good for something.

[@domtweed7323]

@@jcarp8471 If you want a genuinely good use, run the process on nuclear/renewables, then use the carbon extracted to make oil.
That way you get carbon neutral oil.

Too much CO2 and we go back to hothouse earth. Nature would be fine with that, but it would break all our infrastructure. All our coastal cities, farming systems, industrial supply chains, etc... will be broken and need rebuilding.
