carbon capture

Carbon capture is a technology that prevents carbon dioxide (CO₂) from entering the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. It works by capturing CO₂ emissions from power plants or industrial processes, then transporting the captured gas via pipelines to storage sites, often underground in geological formations. This process helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating climate change. There are different methods of capturing CO₂, including pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion, all aiming to make industrial activity more environmentally sustainable while still providing the energy we need.
