The idea is to extract carbon dioxide in the refinery process and to transport and store it in sub-seabed formations. But CCS remains a relatively immature technology: investigations in 2013 showed cracks in North Sea seabed rocks where carbon was stored in field tests. This suggests the likelihood of leakage and the release of carbon into the atmosphere. \nThe world\u2019s largest facility for testing carbon capture technologies on an industrial scale is the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) in Norway. This film was recorded there. TCM has operated since 2012 and is a joint venture between the Norwegian state, Equinor, Shell and Total. \nThe appeal of CCS for the fossil industries lies in the huge new subsidies it promises. The oil and gas should be left in the ground and a fully funded transition to a post-oil economy begun immediately, but the large-scale introduction of CCS would delay the necessary decarbonization, deepening our dependence on the fossil fuel industry. The film\u2019s title refers to humanity\u2019s \u201ccaptivity\u201d within the logic of capitalism, which seems to carry extractivism onward to the point of no return.","space":"The film should be presented as a projection, preferably in a dark space.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/403281000","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":"Mongstad","images_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/378509694","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Oliver","surname":"Ressler","email":"oliver@ressler.at","dni_type":"Other","dni":"U1452807","address":"Barthgasse, 3\/17","city":"Vienna","nacionality":"Austrian","country_id":"16","birthdate":"1970-12-09T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1970-12-09T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+43 699 19130917","web":"http:\/\/www.ressler.art"}
