Extracting and storing CO2: will it save the world?

Date:

Curbing climate change and its impacts will require an unprecedented global effort over the coming decades, which will not be possible without unpopular measures such as the planned ban on internal combustion engines in the EU. However, it is already becoming clear that even the most determined savings efforts will not be enough…

About 0.04 percent of our atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide (CO2). If this value rises higher, the greenhouse gas increases global warming. However, people will never be able to reduce their CO2 emissions to zero. Individual industries are based on burning carbon. And not every technology – think of aviation – can be electrified yet. Fortunately, CO2 can not only be saved, but also captured and stored through high-tech and geo-engineering. What considerations are there, where are the dangers and can that save the world?
