Economics – the technology is extremely expensive.Viewed over time and including all CCS-equipped plants the climate effect is minimal. The amount of CO2 that is not removed will in itself have huge climate effects. Climate effects – CCS does not remove all CO2 emissions from a plant.
Environmental effects – the predominant fuel of the CCS technology will inevitably be coal, which in itself has serious environmental effects.Timing – will CCS be able to deliver the required CO2 reductions within the required time frame?.The idea of CCS, however, raises a number of problems and issues. Unsolved problems and unanswered questions For many years CCS was linked mostly to electricity generation at coal-fired power plants but today industrial CCS attracts much interest. Energy companies and many politicians still envisage a vital role for CCS in the fight against climate change. This website discusses a number of issues related to CCS.ĬCS is not a single technology but a complex of technologies aimed at capturing CO2 at power plants or large industries for subsequent storage underground.ĬCS is currently still in its pilot stage, but slowly on the way to the demonstration stage. CCS is often called a transition technology – a bridging technology – into a distant future when the world may switch to renewable energy. Information about Carbon Capture and Storage - CCSĬCS - COAL, OIL AND GAS AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEEĬCS is the fossil fuel industry’s bid for a solution to the climate problem.
