C
Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide( CO₂) from the atmosphere to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. This is instrumental in slowing global climate change – as well as its disastrous effects.
This can naturally occur biologically or geologically, with artificial sequestration including innovative technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage( CCUS) and direct air capture and storage( DACS).
Under the IEA Sustainable Development Scenario, carbon capture technologies play an important role in supporting modern and flexible power systems, with the agency also advocating for its necessity in achieving goals that will limit global warming to well below 2 ° C. The latest statistics suggest that the capture capacity of operational carbon capture and storage( CCS) facilities worldwide increased from 28MtCO₂ per year in 2014 to around 50MtCO₂ in 2024, representing a significant leap.
Companies leading carbon capture paving way to net zero So, just who is leading in the carbon capture space? Climework’ s Direct Air Capture( DAC) technology removes CO₂ from the air, with the company saying it works to empower people and companies to fight global warming by offering carbon dioxide removal as a service.
