Nearly half of the lobbyists were granted access as members of national delegations, affording them greater access to negotiations, including 55 who were invited as guests by the Azerbaijani government, which is hosting this year's climate summit, and given what some at the conference are calling red-carpet treatment. This large presence of lobbyists is a confirmation that the carbon capture industry is working hard to promote the misguided CCS technology.
Activists are raising concerns that the climate summit is too heavily featuring false solutions. We are witnessing fossil-fuel greenwashing by those attempting to delay the inevitable fossil fuels phase-out, said Rachel Kennerley, a campaigner at CIEL, highlighting the risks associated with treating CCS as a primary vehicle for decarbonization.
