RESOURCES 11: Carbon Capture Challenges

Case Study Annotations in Perusall

• Carbon Capture's Steep Climb 
  • In brief, the carbon-capture chemistry we have today is too expensive. It works, and it makes economic sense in a few settings. But to meet the global consensus goal of net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 and dodge the worst consequences of climate change we need to deploy more than 150 times as much carbon-capture capacity as we have now. That means reducing costs and making more options available for a wide range of CO₂ emission sources. Read on about the growing number of businesses, government, labs, non-profits and academic researchers racing to bring the next generation of carbon-capture technology up to scale and into the market.
