Carbon Capture

In 2015, almost every country on Earth signed up to the historic Paris Agreement on climate change. It required every country to limit its carbon emissions so that the planet was not warmed by more than 1.5 to 2°C by 2050. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions that each country was limited to is known as the global “carbon budget”. …

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a group of technologies that reduces the emissions of power plants and industrial facilities. It does this by capturing and storing as much as 90 per cent of the facilities’ carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. As a result, CCUS can prevent the CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

It may sound like a magic solution …
