A power station, for example, produces a lot of CO2. To decarbonise, one needs to get rid of exhausts from the gas turbines. The answer is relatively simple. Catch the CO2 and pump it in the exhausted North Sea oil wells. The UK government is providing the funds, it seems. Is it free lunch haha. Not from my perspective.' Interesting to get the inside scoop, thx. I always wondered about the likelihood of CO2 staying underground if pumped into depleted wells as talked about. Wouldn't it escape in time? Seems like it would require rather large subsidies and some pipeline infrastructure - a lot of work for no reward. I know govts like to burn our money on all sorts of crazy schemes, but this one seems especially hard to justify, apart from the have-your-cake-and-eat-it attitude which obvs is no long term solution. cheers, I
