Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes and power generation. CCS captures CO2 at its source, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere, and then safely stores it underground. Its environmental importance can be summarized as follows:

  1. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: CCS is one of the most effective technologies for reducing large-scale CO2 emissions, which are a primary contributor to global warming and climate change.
  2. Supporting the Transition to Clean Energy: While renewable energy sources like wind and solar are vital, CCS can help bridge the gap during the transition by reducing emissions from fossil fuel-based industries that are hard to decarbonize, such as cement, steel, and chemical production.
  3. Enhancing Carbon Removal Potential: In combination with bioenergy (known as BECCS), CCS can result in negative emissions, actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere, which is critical for achieving global climate targets.
  4. Preserving Ecosystems: By limiting CO2 emissions, CCS helps reduce the overall impact of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and damage to ecosystems and biodiversity.
  5. Economic and Energy Security: CCS allows continued use of fossil fuels with lower environmental impact, which can support energy security while minimizing damage to the environment. </aside>
