🌞 Climate & Environment Climate change Carbon Capture Renewable Energy Environmental Policy Sustainability
  1. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been criticized for its high failure rates in projects, historically failing 88% of the time. This raises doubts about its effectiveness for climate change action.
  2. Studies suggest that CCS could improve and become more effective if its rollout follows the learning patterns seen with wind and solar energy in the past.
  3. While CCS could help keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, achieving the more ambitious 1.5-degree target seems unlikely without significant improvements and a drastic reduction in failure rates.
