Carbon capture is an emerging technology that offers a potential way to slow global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air or directly from industrial sources before it enters the atmosphere. Once captured, the CO₂ can be stored underground or repurposed in industrial and commercial products. This process has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and complement renewable energy efforts. However, the success of carbon capture depends on its ability to be scaled up efficiently and affordably while minimizing environmental and social risks.
As governments and industries explore solutions to meet global climate goals, carbon capture has sparked both optimism and debate. While it could play a key role in reducing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like manufacturing and energy production, many questions remain. Can these technologies be made cost-effective and accessible across different regions? How can innovation drive improvements in storage safety, energy efficiency, and long-term monitoring? And importantly, how can global cooperation ensure that the benefits of carbon capture are shared equitably among all nations?
What role should carbon capture play in combating climate change, and how can it complement renewable energy solutions? Can these technologies be expanded globally while remaining affordable and environmentally safe? How should governments and businesses share responsibility for funding and developing carbon capture systems? What steps can be taken to ensure fairness, innovation, and accountability in the deployment of this technology?
