Introduction
The research study focuses on the potential of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and mitigating climate change. It explores the effectiveness of CCS in capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions from various sources, such as power plants and industrial processes.
Methods
The study reviews various research studies and reports on carbon capture and storage, including technical reports, government publications, and scientific journals. The data were gathered from a systematic search of various databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
Results
The results of the study indicate that carbon capture and storage has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from various sources, including power plants and industrial processes. CCS technology can capture up to 90% of carbon dioxide emissions from these sources before they are released into the atmosphere.
Discussion
The study highlights the potential benefits of CCS technology in mitigating climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the effects of global warming. However, there are several challenges to implementing CCS technology, such as high costs, technical feasibility, and limited storage capacity.
Conclusion
The study concludes that while CCS technology has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change, it is not a silver bullet solution. Other strategies, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency, must also be pursued to address climate change effectively.
