Blog: Carbon Capture and Storage and Greenhouse Gas Removal – Essential ingredients for net zero

Policy@Manchester

Our planet is heating up, and the impacts of climate change are already being felt across the world. We all know reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential for our planet’s future. However, research shows that, given the scale and urgency of the challenge of reducing emissions across the entire economy, meeting climate change targets will require both carbon capture and storage and greenhouse gas removals. In this blog, Dr Clair Gough and Dr Sarah Mander discuss the necessity for carbon capture and storage in tandem with greenhouse gas removals to achieve the UK’s net zero ambitions.
