Why is Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Technology Important?
According to the International Energy Agency, CCS is the only technology that can control CO2 emissions from large-scale fossil fuel usage, and it will need to provide at least 20% of the GHG emissions reductions required to meet the IPCC goal of cutting global emissions 50% from 2005 levels by 2050 (Source: IEA's Energy Technology Perspectives 2008: Scenarios & Strategies to 2050).
