UK greenlights plan to store 100m tonnes of CO2 under the North Sea
Briefly

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband stated that the investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a new era for clean energy in Britain, enhancing energy security and creating skilled jobs.
Many experts voice concerns about the long-term safety of storing carbon dioxide deep beneath the sea, emphasizing the risks of leakage through natural faults and poorly sealed wells.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology aims to curb the emissions generated by fossil fuel power plants by permanently sequestration of CO2 that would otherwise contribute to climate change.
Previous studies highlight the severe impacts of even minor CO2 leaks, suggesting that they could contaminate water supplies with harmful metals such as arsenic and lead.
