Carbon Capture and Storage - A Road To Cleaner Future

The document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a key technology for reducing carbon emissions and limiting global temperature rise. It states that CCS could deliver 17% of required emissions reductions by 2050 and that without CCS, the costs of tackling climate change could be 40% higher. It also notes that without CCS, limiting global CO2 emissions to 450 ppm could increase costs by 138% and that the additional costs to decarbonize the UK economy in 2050 would be £32 billion per year without CCS. Finally, it provides a brief overview of the CCS process, including CO2 capture using existing industrial technologies like amine solvents, as well as emerging technologies, and the

CO2 CAPTURE

 Capture-related technology
practiced in industry for
decades

 Most mature capture


technology is use of amine
solvents for CO2 and H2S
removal from gas/liquid
streams.

 Other emerging capture


technologies build on
industrial processes e.g.
solid adsorbing fluidized
beds & membranes
CO2 STORAGE

Storage complexes must
