Carbon capture and storage could be used to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and thus ameliorate their impact on climate change. The focus of this technology is on the large-scale reduction of carbon emissions from fossil-fuelled power plants. Research investigates the pros and cons, assesses the risks associated with carbon capture and provides a new framework for assessing the necessary technology.
