Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilisation
Whilst the use of renewable energy sources can reduce carbon emissions they cannot remove the existing emissions from the atmosphere. That is a problem that carbon capture aims to deal with; it does this by either filtering the carbon out of the air or by cleaning out the emissions from biomass power plants. There are currently two proposals as to what can be done with this captured carbon dioxide; the first is to store it under ground in large caverns or old oil and gas wells, and the other is to try and utilise the captured emissions and to make things out of it.
Pros (storage):
-can store large volumes of emissions
-can draw down a large amount emission in a short amount of time
Pros (utilisation):
-provides a use for the captured material
-can be used as a way to make the system more financially
viable
Cons (storage):
-no financial incentive for construction
-concerns about leaks from large storage facilities
Cons (utilisation):
-can only capture a small amount of the total emissions
-there are more cost effective ways to get these materials
