Climate Crisis: Carbon capture tech faces multiple challenges, says IPCC Synthesis Report

Carbon dioxide removal would be necessary to achieve net-negative CO2 emissions, the report said

Global capacity to capture carbon could go up 6 times by 2030, still not enough for climate mitigation

More than $3 billion invested in tech so far in 2022, finds report  

Relying on forests to achieve net zero targets not a good idea, and scientists agree

Rapid decarbonisation of energy and transport systems and reduction in emissions are the ultimate ways to limit warming

How technology can help in capturing carbon

The technologies, a type of geoengineering, been debated over their ethical and safety concerns   

World’s first carbon capture coal plant opens in Canada

It aims to make coal ‘a viable technical, environmental and economic case for continued use’. But should that be an aim?
