This report, "Brief Carbon Removal with CCS Technologies," provides an overview of carbon removal and its role in climate change mitigation. Carbon removal refers to the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in a way that it will not be released back into the atmosphere. This can be done through a variety of approaches, including bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS).
The report also discusses the dual role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in climate change mitigation. CCS technologies can be used to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and other industrial sources, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, CCS can also be used in conjunction with carbon removal technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The report concludes by noting that policy developments related to carbon removal and CCS are complex and that more research is needed to fully understand the potential of these technologies in addressing climate change.
