Well, it doesn’t *work**, so this is solid advice.
* CCS has never been able to capture and store 100% of emissions, or even close to that.
“The report states that limiting global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the target the international community committed to with the Paris Agreement, would require an “inconceivable” 32 billion tonnes of emissions to be sequestered by carbon capture by 2050.
“The amount of electricity needed to power these technologies would be greater than the entire world’s electricity demand today,” the report said, adding that amount of carbon capture would also require an increase in global spending on the technology from $4 billion last year to $3.5 trillion by 2050.”
Glad to see these sorts of techno fantasies finally being debunked.
