Why CCS
In this study it is documented that CCS together with enhanced energy efficiency and more renewable energy is the only strategy to ensure 50 to 80 percent reduction in global CO2 emissions. Read more.
Bellona has also published a Why CCS brochure (PDF).
The potential for CO2 capture
CCS has a large potential for reducing global CO2 emissions. In this study it is documented that a wide implementation of CCS can reduce global CO2 emissions by 33 percent. Read more.
Scenarios for CO2 emissions
Future CO2 emissions depends on which incentives and regulations that are implemented to reduce the emissions. Bellona has studied several scenarios for CO2 emissions onwards to 2050, and all scenarios shows that large reductions in CO2 emissions will require much stronger incentives that are considered by decision makers today. Read more.
Potential and barriers for renewable energy
The final solution to the climate challenge is renewable energy production. However, there are large barriers to large increase in renewable energy production. Read more.
CO2 storage
Safe CO2 storage is possible. Bellona has performed a study to investigate how safe CO2 storage can be performed. Read more.
Regulatory framework for CCS
A successful implementation of CCS requires that a regulatory framework for CCS is established. Bellona has identified what needs to be addressed in a new framework. Read more.
CCS and CDM
Bellona has suggested that CCS is included in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol. This can lead to signifivatnt reductions in global CO2 emissions. Read more.
What’s wrong with Russia’s official documents on the Arctic.
As uranium supplies from Russia fall under the shadow of potential sanctions, and while Ukraine’s allies look to wean themselves off nuclear fuel produced by Moscow’s Rosatom corporation, owners of left-for-dead mines in the US are looking to revive their deposits.
The European Union doubled its purchases of Russian nuclear fuel in 2023, data from Eurostat and the UN’s international trade service Comtrade show.
The output of Russian nuclear power plants in 2023 decreased by 2.8% compared to 2022. A decrease in output occurred for the first time in 10 years a...
