Shell sold millions of carbon credits for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that never happened, allowing the company to turn a profit on its fledgling carbon capture and storage project, according to a new report by Greenpeace Canada.
Under an agreement with the Alberta government, Shell was awarded two tonnes’ worth of emissions reduction credits for each tonne of carbon it actually captured and stored underground at its Quest plant, near Edmonton.
This took place between 2015 and 2021 through a subsidy program for carbon, capture, utilisation and storage projects (CCUS), which are championed by the oil and gas sector as a way to cut its greenhouse gas emissions.
At the time, Quest was the only operational CCUS facility in Alberta. The subsidy program ended in 2022.
Maybe it wasn’t Risa. I could be getting it mixed up. Anyway the planet in the ep I named is the one where eveyone is hot and almost naked, Wesley breaks a greenhouse and they go to lethally inject him and Picard is like, “Hold on bro he’s a shit but if anyone is going to kill Wesley it’s going to be me.”
I may have taken some liberties with the story but that’s basically it.
I always thought the planet was Angel I, but it is actually Rubicun III in the episode “Justice”.
I would like more of these paraphrased Startrek stories
