• Can Carbon Capture Achieve 99+% CO2 Removal from Industrial and Power Plants?

  Scientific studies of climate change have reached a sobering conclusion.  It won’t be enough just to make deep reductions in carbon dioxide releases. By the second half of this century, all CO₂ emissions must be removed from the energy system. This requirement means capturing 90% of the CO₂ emissions from…
