UK Greenlights Carbon Capture From Natural Gas
Shell's project would, for the first time, capture and store most emissions from a natural gas power plant.

A proposed liquified natural gas plant would be the first on the East Coast and would lead to an even bigger surge in fracking.
Natural gas is not critical for cutting carbon emissions and could interfere with growth in efficiency and renewable energy.
In Texas, when calculations reflect real world conditions rather than outdated assumptions, wind and solar are more competitive than natural gas.
In the short term it could be an obstacle to new utility-scale projects, but rooftop solar PV could fill the gap.
Fracking for natural gas significantly raises methane emissions, but those could provide additional energy if it were captured.
Over a 20-year period, methane emissions from natural gas fracking contribute more to climate change than coal.
Natural gas drilling in Arkansas is linked to more than 800 earth quakes over six months.
Cornell professor publishes research on lifecycle emissions associated with hydraulic fracturing.
