Carbon capture test: 'polluting'

摘要

Demonstrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology could actually increase power sector emissions, according toWWF.rnA new report argues that, if the government gives the green light to new coal-fired power stations in order to test small-scale CCS projects, the new technology will actually raise UK carbon emissions instead of lowering them.rn"Building a new power station on the scale of Kingsnorth [in Kent] with CCS technology covering only a small portion of its output, will raise the country's carbon emissions by millions of tonnes," said Keith Allott, WWF's head of climate change.
