If coal is going to be used, the only response - because it is the dirtiest of all fuels - is that we have to learn how to do carbon capture and storage and we have to learn how to do it quickly on a commercial scale.

WHAT DOES CARBON CAPTURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

carbon capture

Carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage , is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO 2 into the atmosphere. It is a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification. Although CO 2 has been injected into geological formations for several decades for various purposes, including enhanced oil recovery, the long term storage of CO 2 is a relatively new concept. The first commercial example was Weyburn in 2000. 'CCS' can also be used to describe the scrubbing of CO 2 from ambient air as a geoengineering technique. An integrated pilot-scale CCS power plant was to begin operating in September 2008 in the eastern German power plant Schwarze Pumpe run by utility Vattenfall, in the hope of answering questions about technological feasibility and economic efficiency.
