As 40 top climate officials from around the world gathered in Berlin this week, we got to see how the battle lines are going to be drawn in the run-up to Cop28.
What role should carbon capture play in the energy transition? Is it just for the hard to clean up stuff, like making cement? Or is it for cleaning up the emissions of fossil fuels in electricity too?
A source in the room in Berlin said that the Europeans, vulnerable countries and a few others were in the former camp while the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the US were in the latter.
The UAE’s Sultan Al-Jaber said repeatedly this week that it is “fossil fuel emissions” that should be phased out not fossil fuels, a carbon capture caveat.
