Capturing Carbon: The Key to Decarbonization
Carbon capture is essential for decarbonization in various industries and countries. It plays a crucial role in power generation, decarbonizing fertilizer and cement production, and reducing emissions from air travel. Without scaling up carbon capture now, there won't be enough time for it to make a significant impact by 2050. While there are challenges in terms of scalability, the goal is to have carbon capture technologies that can be widely used and effectively reduce emissions. The focus is on achieving the first successful plants for carbon capture and establishing them as references for future projects.
