The Sunday Times has reported that a new plan to build coal fired power stations in the UK depends on whether the carbon waste can be captured at the source, cooled and then transported to empty oilfields where it will be pumped underground.Â
Two major European shipping companies are looking at a the feasibility of building specialst tankers to transport the the liquefied carbon waste.
The Middle East is a likely destination due to the vast number of oilfields in the area. Should Middle Eastern companies try to get ahead of the curve to take advantage of this eco-friendly initiative or is it yet more pie in the school by the European socks and sandals brigade?
