Carbon Capture

Carbon capture refers to a set of technologies and processes designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes before the CO2 can enter the atmosphere. The captured CO2 can then be transported and stored underground in geological formations or utilized in various applications. The primary aim of carbon capture is to mitigate climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 emissions contributing to global warming. This technology plays a significant role in strategies aimed at achieving net-zero emissions targets, as it allows for continued use of fossil fuels while minimizing their environmental impact. Carbon capture is often an integral part of broader carbon management approaches, which also include carbon storage and utilization to create products or energy.
