Questions What are the different ways of describing carbon What about CCS for ‘hard to abate’ emissions from capture methods? heavy industry like plastics, steel, and cement? Is CCS the same as carbon dioxide removal? Is CCS important for hydrogen production? What is enhanced oil recovery? What about the jobs potential in building out CCS? Is CCS an effective way to reduce carbon emissions? Is car. [...] Critically, the emissions released from the burn- ing of oil produced with CO2-EOR are significantly greater than the carbon dioxide stored in the process, undermining any purported climate benefit from the carbon dioxide storage. [...] When CCS equipment is added to a facility, it can increase the total amount of energy consumed by the facility, reduce the usable energy output of the facility, or both. [...] In the United States, it is estimated that to capture a quarter of current emis- of CCS look like? sions by 2050, the industry would need to manage nearly two-and-a-half times more carbon dioxide than the total volume of current US oil production, and construct over 60,000 miles of pipelines. [...] Is CCS important for CCS faces the same obstacles and presents the same problems in the Global South as it does in the Global the Global South? North.
