Carbon Capture and Storage: A Critical Tool for Achieving Climate Goals

Exploring the Potential of Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical tool for achieving climate goals, as it has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This technology involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large point sources, such as power plants and industrial facilities, and storing them underground to prevent their release into the atmosphere. As the world grapples with the urgent need to mitigate climate change, CCS has emerged as a promising solution to help meet the ambitious targets set by the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

One of the main advantages of CCS is its ability to address emissions from sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, such as heavy industry and power generation. These sectors account for a significant share of global CO2 emissions, and their continued reliance on fossil fuels poses a major challenge to achieving climate goals. By capturing and storing CO2 emissions from these sources, CCS can help bridge the gap between current emissions levels and the reductions needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
