carbon capture technology
Carbon capture technology refers to methods used to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced from industrial processes and energy production before they enter the atmosphere. This technology can help mitigate climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the air. The captured CO2 can be stored underground or utilized in various applications, such as creating synthetic fuels or enhancing oil recovery.
There are several approaches to carbon capture, including pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture, and direct air capture. Each method has its own advantages and challenges, but all aim to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuel use and support global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions.
