Such a cool video. Mostly, I'm posting this to add to my 'environments' tag, but maybe there are some other geology nerds out there 😂

Some screenshots from the video, by Myron Cook:

And an amazing shot from this site:

THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD

Poor Grim. This is in no way a metaphor. Very little can hurt him* but this is excruciating. Six identical hivemind boys seeing and feeling themselves and each other being torn literally to pieces. It’s a terrible shock to him that something like this could happen. (It’s a significantly worse shock for his family, who had no idea they were living in this kind of horror movie.)

He does, at least, get to feel better:

His Mum’s got him. :)

Making it easier to capture carbon dioxide in the cement industry

Cement manufacture accounts for as much as seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. A new hybrid technology makes it easier and less expensive to capture and purify CO2 produced by the industry. And the technology can be retrofitted to existing plant.

Researchers at SINTEF have now upgraded the method used to capture greenhouse gases generated during the cement manufacturing process. The hope is that this technology can be utilised by cement factories and in other industrial processes in coastal areas and along European rivers, because the method is based on the liquefaction of CO2, allowing it to be transported by ship. It can also be retrofitted to existing plant.

Normally, the flue gases emitted from a cement factory contain about 20 percent CO2. In order to transport and/or store the CO2 from these gases, they must first be scrubbed. The current minimum requirement is approx. 95 percent purity. However, this process requires large amounts of heat and is thus energy-demanding.

The team of researchers is now proposing that the sector should utilise a hybrid technology that makes CO2 capture easier, more energy efficient, and better suited to CO2 transport by ship.
