Carbon Capture and Storage: Essential for Net-Zero or a Costly Distraction?
Key Takeaways
- CCS captures CO2 from industrial sources and stores it underground to prevent climate change.
- IPCC and many governments see CCS as critical for net-zero, especially for hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
- Global CCS capacity is small (~40 MtCO2/yr) and behind schedule.
- Critics call CCS a costly distraction, citing high costs, fossil fuel ties, and poor performance.
