A study finds there is less room for carbon capture than previously believed

The recent study published in Nature reveals that global carbon storage capacity is ten times lower than previously estimated, limiting its potential impact on climate change to a reduction of only 0.7°C, rather than the previously thought 5-6°C. Researchers emphasize the need for swift emissions reductions alongside careful utilization of carbon capture technologies, particularly for hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
