Is carbon capture the key to reducing emissions, or just a costly distraction? Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology promises to trap CO₂ from industrial sources and even pull it directly from the atmosphere, helping to achieve net-zero goals. But its effectiveness, costs, and risks remain hotly debated.
In this episode, we break down how CCS works, its role in hard-to-decarbonize industries, and the concerns surrounding energy use, potential leakage, and enhanced oil recovery. We’ll also explore global investments, policy incentives, and whether this technology can be a viable climate solution or a short-term fix.
Tune in to explore the promise, pitfalls, and future of carbon capture technology.
