LASER TALK: Carbon Capture and Sequestration

LASER TALK: Carbon Capture and Sequestration

CCL does not oppose or support any specific technologies. As long as all of the climate costs are adequately priced into the energy we use, as our plan stipulates, the best long-term engineering solutions will win out. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a general term for a range of different industrial processes that can separate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from smokestacks and store it underground indefinitely as toxic waste. The science is clear, we will need to deploy CCS in order to avoid the 2C limit. When combined with biofuels, CCS can permanently reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Canada is a world leader in CCS. Without carbon pricing, CCS deployed at scales required to meet climate targets is unlikely.
