I would estimate that over 99.9% of scientists who actually study climate systems agree that it's a lot cheaper and easier to stop burning fossil fuels than to remove carbon dioxide. So why is @skdh so wrong? 🧵

"review of 12 large-scale projects reveals a litany of cost-overruns and missed targets, with a net increase in emissions." Fossil Fuel Companies Made Bold Promises to Capture Carbon. Here’s What Actually Happened. desmog.com/2023/09/25/fossil… @DeSmog @LMicalBuchsbaum Edward Donnelly

Fossil Fuel Companies Made Bold Promises to Capture Carbon. Here’s What Actually Happened.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) was high on the agenda at New York Climate Week last week, where critics of the technology raised concerns it would be used to extend the life of the fossil fuel...

It might seem my career is of glories, going from one paper to another award all the time. But the reality is far from it. We all have ups and downs, and more often downs. The day I received news of this award, I also learned the rejection of a major grant, two years in a row.

The award is all due to my research group and collaborators. It reminds me how privileged we are to be able to do research as a university professor.

Fuel cells currently depend on platinum group metals (PGM). We use a nitrogen-doped carbon support to promote the activity of PGMs, resulting in the highest PGM-utilization rate in anion exchange membrane fuel cells. rdcu.be/dkR5G A tour de force study led by @NiWeiyan

A true collaborative work with 17 authors! First results were obtained 4 years ago. Key points: Porous nitrogen-doped carbon (pN-C) promotes Ru due to charge transfer tolower HBE of Ru,, and promotes Pt by inducing Pt single atoms which leads to more favorable water structure.
