In March, United States President Donald Trump vowed to open hundreds of coal power plants to counter global competitors like China. The decision is seen as a signal that environmental concerns will take a backseat under the Trump administration. Among those who share such concerns, it has also highlighted the need for carbon capture technologies.
Carbon capture technologies are designed to trap carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities, preventing them from contributing to climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can be stored underground or repurposed for uses like fuel production or enhanced oil recovery. Since these technologies store and utilise carbon, they are also called carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies.
