Rethinking CCS - Moving Forward in Times of Uncertainty

摘要

Fossil fuels help drive the world economy because they are abundant and relatively inexpensive. They accounted for 81 % of the global energy supply in 2010 and unless aggressive new measures are taken to reduce CO_2 emissions they are projected to retain a 75 % share in 2035 [1]. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only technology available to drastically reduce CO_2 emissions from fossil fuels that also allows the world to continue to reap their benefits without the negative impacts associated with climate change.
