Deep dives
Carbon Capture and its Importance
The podcast emphasizes the significance of carbon capture and storage technologies in addressing the climate crisis. These technologies are not just innovative solutions but vital strategies for reducing carbon emissions, particularly in industries like cement production that are traditionally hard to decarbonize. For instance, a significant portion of CO2 emissions in cement production comes from the calcination of limestone, where alternative fuels cannot fully mitigate emissions. By implementing permanent CO2 storage solutions, companies can not only comply with future regulations but also contribute positively to climate objectives.
