"A prototype carbon capture and storage facility by Shell, which was designed
to eliminate emissions from hydrogen production, actually has the same yearly
carbon footprint as 1.2 million cars, according to a report by Global Witness.
Shell says its Quest plant captured close to five million tonnes of CO2 over
the course of five years after it was installed at the oil giant's Scotford
refinery in Canada in 2015.
But the report by human rights organisation Global Witness found that over the
same half-decade, it emitted just over 7.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gases
that weren't captured – the equivalent to emissions from 1.2 million cars every
year.
The greenhouse gases emitted include highly potent methane, which in the short
term has a more than 80-times higher global warming potential than carbon
dioxide."
