Carbon capture is turning the oil and gas industry into a critical player for mitigating climate change – while its products continue to heat up the planet.

The combination of the source of the CO₂ and its end use determines its environmental and economic benefits or consequences.

Some geoengineering techniques are better understood than others. The US is investing in capturing carbon dioxide from the air, but ideas to block the Sun’s rays are raising big concerns.

Fossil fuel power plants can avoid most emissions by capturing carbon dioxide and pumping it underground. But to be a climate solution, that carbon has to stay stored for thousands of years.

Carbon capture and storage could keep gas and coal-fired power plants running under newly proposed federal emissions standards, but it faces high hurdles.

Carbon capture and storage is the most promising solution for gas and coal-fired power plants to keep running under the proposed new regulations, but it faces high hurdles.

The ocean twilight zone could store vast amounts of carbon captured from the atmosphere, but first we need a 4D monitoring system to ensure ramping up carbon storage does no harm.

An ocean scientist describes plans for an ‘internet of the ocean,’ with sensors and autonomous vehicles that can explore the deep sea and monitor its vital signs.
