An initiative in Wales plans to capture carbon emissions from a major gas power station and bury them at sea.
Steffan Messenger reports for BBC News.
In short:
- The project involves laying undersea pipes to transport CO2 from Pembroke power station to a liquified natural gas terminal.
- Environmentalists express concerns, advocating for renewable energy investments over extending the life of gas plants.
- The scheme promises job security and the development of a new industry focused on CO2 shipping and storage.
Key quote:
"We need to build something that allows it to still operate at times when it's needed without impacting the climate."
— Richard Little, director of the Pembroke Net Zero Centre
Why this matters:
This project represents a balance between maintaining energy supply and reducing carbon footprint. It's emblematic of the larger national effort to tackle climate change and transition to greener energy sources.
