Global climate goals 'virtually impossible' without carbon capture - IEA

Science
2020-09-24 05:06:14Z

A sharp rise in the deployment of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology is needed globally if countries are to meet net-zero emissions targets designed to slow climate change, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday.
