Project Description
Carbon Capture is a process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from various sources, such as power plants or industrial facilities, and preventing them from entering the atmosphere. This technology is designed to reduce the concentration of CO2, a major greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere and mitigate its contribution to climate change.
Connection to Climate Change: Carbon capture is a critical component of climate change mitigation efforts. By capturing and storing CO2 emissions, it helps to reduce the overall greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere, which is essential for limiting global warming. Carbon capture technologies can play a role in achieving net-zero emissions and addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
These technologies can be applied in various sectors, including power generation, industrial processes, and even directly from the air. While carbon capture is a promising tool, it is not a standalone solution to climate change and must be used in conjunction with other strategies such as reducing emissions at their source and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
