In a nutshell: Using carbon capture and storage (CCS) for climate action
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is seen as a crucial technology for climate action, especially in industries where emissions are very hard to avoid, such as cement production. However, it is expensive, energy-intensive, still in its infancy, and cannot yet reduce emissions to zero. In the energy sector, there are currently simpler, cheaper, and more effective climate solutions available than installing CCS in fossil fuel power plants. This factsheets sums up the most important facts about CCS.
