carbon capture technologies

Carbon capture technologies are methods that remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from sources like power plants or the atmosphere to reduce climate change. They work by capturing CO₂ before it enters the air, either by filtering it out from emissions or directly from the air. Once captured, the CO₂ can be compressed and transported to storage sites, such as underground rock formations, where it is securely stored. These technologies help lower greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, supporting efforts to mitigate global warming and transition to cleaner energy systems.
