IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage

The IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) evaluates how effectively CCS technologies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CCS captures CO₂ emissions from sources like power plants and industrial processes, then compresses and stores it underground to prevent it from entering the atmosphere. The report discusses potential, challenges, costs, and risks, emphasizing that CCS can be a vital tool in limiting global warming. It highlights that widespread deployment requires technological advancements, infrastructure, and policy support, but it offers a way to significantly lower carbon emissions while still using fossil fuels or supporting industries.
