Summary of Carbon Capture - Humanity's Last Hope?

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

The video discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS), a possible solution to the global problem of greenhouse gas emissions. It explains how the technology works and outlines some of the potential benefits and concerns associated with it. The video also encourages viewers to consider signing up for Skillshare, a platform that offers access to life-changing skills and knowledge.

• 00:00:00 This video discusses how human activity has caused carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to increase, which is leading to climate change. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a possible solution to this problem, but it is still in development. CCS can prevent 80 to 90 percent of a power plant's carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere, and it has the potential to make up between 10% and 55% of the total carbon mitigation effort until year 2100. However, there are some concerns about CCS, including the fact that it is still in development and the possibility that it might not be feasible in the future.
• 00:05:00 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a possible solution to the global problem of greenhouse gas emissions. The technology is based on capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions from different sources, such as transportation, industry, and power plants, and then converting them into fuels. A recent study found that this process could be economically feasible, at a cost of between $1 and $2.50 per gallon of gasoline.
• 00:10:00 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is under development to help mitigate the negative effects of industries where a carbon zero result is next to impossible, like steel or cement manufacturing, or long-distance air travel. Critics say that we should simply not be taking the carbon out of the ground in the first place, focusing on reducing emissions rather than capture and storage, or capture and re-use. However, technology like this can and should play a role in how we tackle climate change.
