Carbon capture and sequestration is regarded as a pivotal technology to reduce carbon emissions from power plants and industries while transitioning to renewable energy. It captures carbon dioxide from exhaust before it's released into the atmosphere, compresses it, and stores it underground. However, the approach faces skepticism from various groups, including conservatives who view it as costly and environmentalists who question its effectiveness. Despite the criticisms, proponents stress its role in mitigating climate change as we move towards sustainability, although the future of funding remains uncertain due to political challenges.
But it faces criticism from some conservatives, who say it is expensive and unnecessary, and from environmentalists, who say it has consistently failed to capture as much pollution as promised.
The carbon then is compressed and shipped usually through a pipeline to a location where it's injected deep underground for long-term storage.
Lauren Read, a senior vice president at BKV Corp., which built a carbon capture facility in Texas, said the company injects carbon at high pressure, forcing it almost two miles below the surface.
Many see carbon capture and sequestration as an important step in reducing pollution as we transition to renewable energy, despite substantial skepticism.
