Ensuring safe carbon capture and storage in China
Tsinghua University is partnering with WRI to develop guidelines for China’s deployment of CCS technology. Many have said that we can’t solve the climate change challenge without a solution for coal. Nowhere is this truer than in China, which already uses more coal than the U.S, the European Union and Japan combined. Many experts are now looking at carbon capture and storage—known as CCS—as the ...

Carbon Capture and Storage Market to gain prominence with the rising concerns over environmental degradation
Growing demand for carbon technologies to meet 20C scenario along with strict government regulations to curb carbon footprint will drive the carbon capture and storage market size. Product ability to reduce carbon emission by 85% to 90% makes its adoption preferable over other available alternates. According to New Source Performance Standards in the U.S., the new coal fired plant can emit 1400 ...

Carbon capture and storage: climate impacts
One proposal for meeting targets for the reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is to capture and store CO2 that is emitted by fossil fuel burning power stations. In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that carbon capture and storage (CCS) could help mitigate against climate change, especially in the short term. Using CCS, CO2 emitted from energy or industrial plants could be ...
