Life Cycle Perspectives on Carbon Capture and Storage for Sustainable Net-Zero Transitions

Abstract

Climate change is currently one of the serious environmental concerns that affects a wide range of sectors globally, including the stability of ecosystems, sustainability of economies, and resilience of communities. Consequently, there is a need to approach this menace with equal urgency and a search for sustainable alternatives. Among the proposed solutions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology garnered a crucial spot as the antagonist against climate change (Shu et al., 2023). CCS is an active way of locking up CO2 emissions at their point of origin, transporting them, and finally storing them safely underground so they can’t have a negative impact on our planet. This paper takes a lifecycle approach to examining the contribution of CCS to reaching the net-zero target.
