CCTS can already avoid CO2 emissions: An overview of the environmental impacts of carbon capture, transport, and storage
Read more: CCTS can already avoid CO2 emissions: An overview of the environmental impacts of carbon capture, transport, and storageNet zero economies will need carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCTS) to decarbonize CO2-intensive industries, like cement production, and compensate for residual emissions from agriculture or aviation. Achieving the magnitudes of CCTS needed for net zero requires an infrastructure capable of capturing, transporting, and storing several megatonnes of CO2 per year as soon as possible. Pipelines are best suited for transporting large…
