Q&A: Does the World Need “Carbon Capture & Storage” to Reach Net-Zero?
When carbon dioxide (CO2) is released from a factory or power plant, the gas can be captured and permanently stored underground, preventing it from driving climate change. This is the idea underpinning carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology that is at the heart of many nations’ net-zero plans. Influential organisations, including the Intergovernmental … [continued]
