Experts say these technologies are still in the early stages of deployment and face challenges such as high costs and opposition to infrastructure development.
The United Nations COP28 climate talks in Dubai are considering a phaseout of fossil fuels, but a new term called 'abated emissions' is opening up a potential middle ground.
This scenario involves trapping greenhouse gas emissions from continued use of fossil fuels using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
While many see them as essential for achieving net-zero emissions, skeptics worry that they are being oversold to maintain the status quo.
The United Nations COP28 climate talks in Dubai have brought the concept of 'abated emissions' to the forefront of discussions, as a potential middle ground in the debate over phasing out fossil fuels. This concept involves the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to trap greenhouse gas emissions from the continued use of fossil fuels. While CCS technology has been around for decades, it is gaining renewed attention at COP28.
Carbon capture involves separating carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and storing it underground, while carbon removal aims to remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. However, experts caution that these technologies are still in the early stages of deployment and face challenges such as high costs and opposition to infrastructure development.
The U.K. government and the International Energy Agency (IEA) recognize CCS as essential for decarbonization. Similarly, the American Petroleum Institute and the Biden administration support carbon capture. However, there are concerns about its cost and effectiveness. Some environmentalists argue that it is a distraction from phasing out fossil fuels and worry that these technologies are being oversold to maintain the status quo.
Despite these concerns, the Biden administration and oil companies are investing in carbon capture. However, the effectiveness and potential negative impacts of these technologies remain a point of contention among environmentalists.
