ABSTRACT

The rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, has accelerated global climate change, presenting a significant challenge to the environment and human society. This paper explores the role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in mitigating climate change by reducing CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation and industrial processes. It provides an overview of the science behind climate change, the types and effectiveness of CCS technologies, and the challenges and opportunities in their implementation. The discussion is supported by case studies of successful CCS projects, highlighting the potential of CCS to serve as a critical tool in global efforts to combat climate change.

Keywords: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Climate Change Mitigation, Fossil Fuels, CO₂ Sequestration.
