SMART CITY HIGHLIGHTS
CARBON CAPTURE
Why is it important? Carbon capture can achieve 14 percent of the global greenhouse gas emission reductions needed by 2050 and is viewed as one of the best practical to achieve deep decarbonisation in the industrial sector. How this work? A combination of technologies designed to prevent the release of CO2 generated through conventional power generation and industrial production processes by injecting the CO2 in suitable underground storage reservoirs.
1. Biological carbon capture and storage: when the natural environment – such as forests and oceans – sequesters CO 2 from the atmosphere. 2. Artificial / Geological carbon capture and storage: when CO 2 as an emission were extracted from human-made processes and stored in vast underground facilities.
What’s next? ❑ Embracing carbon capture’s potential for smart city industries ❑ Carbon capture to be support by all governments across the nations ❑ Public-private collaboration is needed to create innovative and economic solutions
