Unpacking Climate Innovations: CCS and CDR
This chapter critically examines the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in climate discourse, highlighting how the language of innovation has been appropriated by the oil and gas industry for greenwashing. The speakers discuss the limitations and historical failures of CCS technologies, emphasizing the necessity for genuine decarbonization rather than reliance on potentially misleading solutions. Through a detailed analysis, the chapter reveals the urgency of transitioning away from fossil fuels while scrutinizing the narratives perpetuated by the fossil fuel sector.
