Carbon capture and storage at the end of a lost decade

Following the landmark 2015 United Nations Paris Agreement, a growing number of countries are committing to transition net-zero emissions. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been consistently heralded directly address emissions from energy industrial sectors forms significant component plans reach net-zero. However, despite critical importance technology substantial research development date, CCS deployment slow. This review examines efforts over last decade. We reveal that facility must increase dramatically current levels, much work remains maximize CO2 in vast subsurface reserves. Using rates deployment, capacity by 2050 is projected be around 700 million tons per year, just 10% what required. Meeting targets via ambitions seems unlikely unless worldwide coordinated rapid changes policy take place. (CCS), suite technologies at source, widely regarded as crucial meet national international climate change mitigation goals through safe sequestration carbon The International Energy Agency (IEA) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) analysis outlines integral reduction global meeting goals.1Global Institute (2019), Global Status Report 2019, Melbourne, Australia.Google Scholar made clear sustainable scenario (SDS) IEA, which net zero.2IEAEnergy Technology Perspectives 2020.
