Browsing: Carbon Capture
Carbon capture refers to a range of technologies designed to trap carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources or directly from the atmosphere, preventing them from contributing to global warming. These methods are often applied to power plants, cement factories, and other heavy industries where CO2 is a major byproduct. Once captured, the CO2 can be stored deep underground in geological formations or repurposed for industrial uses such as enhanced oil recovery or the production of synthetic fuels and building materials. As the world seeks pathways to net-zero emissions, carbon capture is increasingly viewed as a critical, though still evolving, tool for mitigating climate change.
