At last after months of research and testing we have finally launched our new climate saving technology. Our EV-EON Unnaturally Carbonated Water could really save the day and let us keep burning the coal.
Londoners were given a rare treat today as we handed complementary bottles of EV-EON. It’s not often you get to save the world for free!
We started out in the shadow of the London Eye and although the weather was quite stormy we received a great reaction. Then under the watch of Big Ben the sun came out and gave us the opportunity to explain how the carbon capture process works. Finally the Houses of Parliament were visited to deliver the ‘message in the bottle’ that with Carbon Capture now in the bag it should give more coal power stations the go ahead.
Whilst there we came across some pesky students who were chanting against our proposed coal fired power station at Kingsnorth, so we interrupted and in front of the world’s media explained that it would all be ok because we now have the solution; carbon capture bottled water. They were so impressed they left happy as larry.
Our whistle stop tour ended in London’s most victorious of sites - Trafalgar Square. Despite having the great Nelson by our side we were swarmed by a savage crowd keen for a free climate saving thirst quencher.
Well done carbon capture and storage!
It’s official!!!
On 1st April we are launching our new fantastic, planet saving, coal burnt, Unnaturally Carbonated Water.
We will be in and around London taking in some of the most famous sights.
So keep an eye out for us…
Until carbon capture bottled water is a reality or until it is proven commercially viable to pipe carbon dioxide under ground we cannot allow new coal fired power stations to get the green light. Here’s what you can do:
Help expose the carbon capture and storage myth by forwarding this site to a friend and talking about it to everyone you know.
Come along to the August 2009 Camp for Climate Action or find out how to get involved in the ongoing E-ON Face Off Campaign working to stop Kingsnorth being built.
Put pressure on the decision makers by doing one of these online actions.
Switch to an energy provider that doesn’t use fossil fuels, such as Good Energy, or urge your energy provider to support renewable energy.
Discover the alternatives to coal and the pathway to a Zero Carbon Britain by 2027.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves removing dangerous greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide, from the coal power generation process before it gets into the atmosphere.
The technology could be viable at some point in the future but…
“CCS is as yet unproven technology and we have to acknowledge there is some risk that safe and reliable CCS for power generation might not be proven or deployable at scale and at reasonable costs.”
- John Hutton, former UK Energy Minister
In April 2009, Ed Miliband the UK minister for climate change and energy announced that all new coal power stations must capture at least 25% of their emissions to win approval. Then IF CCS is proven to be economically and technologically viable they will need to capture all their emission by 2025.
EON’s Kingsnorth will almost certainly now gain government approval along with three other stations based on a hope that CCS will materialise. Kingsnorth will pump millions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere each year and under Ed’s plans for every tonne of carbon captured three will still be released to go on and drive climate change.
If the technology doesn’t materialise or is too expensive will the government of the day really close down these coal-fired stations? Sounds unlikely to us.
Like our EV-EON water carbon capture sounds great, but until it’s proven to work at scale new coal fired powers stations can’t be given the green light.
