The global focus on cleantech innovations for combatting high levels of carbon dioxide has led to the emergence of carbon capture technologies as a vital tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon capture technologies are essential due to the vast amounts of carbon dioxide released by industrial activities, and they serve as a bridge technology during the transition towards renewable energy adoption.
Cleantech carbon capture strategies include post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion, and direct air capture, each with unique features and applications.
Challenges in scaling carbon capture technologies include high costs, the need for policy support, inconsistent regulatory frameworks, and the importance of integrating carbon capture into broader climate strategies.
