Technologies, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), need to be deployed at scale and at a much faster rate than is currently happening to address climate change, said Brad Page, CEO of the Global CCS Institute.
Page was speaking at a unique event organised by the Global CCS Institute, APAC CCS, which discussed the latest developments and outlook for CCS across the Asia Pacific region, and the essential role of CCS in developing of a low-carbon economy.
The Global CCS Institute said the momentum and vital need for CCS technologies has never been greater. According to the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 1.5°C report, the time for inaction is long past. Experts clearly state that reducing emissions with one or two ‘chosen’ technologies is no longer enough.
Speaking at the event, Page said, “Multiple independent and credible bodies have concluded that to achieve global climate change targets in the time frame required, all technologies are needed, and that CCS is the only likely solution for hard to decarbonise industries such as steel, cement and fertiliser manufacturing.”
