Climate Change and CO2 Geosequestration
摘要
As outlined in the Paris Agreement, achieving net-zero and negative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2080 to limit global temperature rise to 2 °C, is crucial. Still the fossil fuels are contribution approximately 83% of the world’s energy supply. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered as a key technology to reduce the growing carbon footprint. CO2 geosequestration, involves storing CO2 in the geological media and restrict its release into the atmosphere. The feasible options of geosequestration include underground geological formations, oceans, terrestrial ecosystems, and bio-sequestration. Combining the geological sequestration and as renewable energy exploration can facilitate the carbon emissions reduction. This chapter discusses the CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) as a key element in national and global climate strategies, and demonstrating its role in achieving net zero.
