![]() ![]() Bolstered by large amounts of liquefied natural gas projects coming online in Asia, experts see CCS playing a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with these projects. Asia is a prime candidate for energy-related CCS, either pre-combustion carbon capture or post-combustion capture, as the region’s energy demands continue to rise. In Asia, the Pacific, Africa and Latin America, carbon capture projects are in various stages of development. Source: Twitter Other Global Carbon Capture Projects Rounding out the top 5 is Canada’s Boundary Dam project, which takes in 1 MTPA. These facilities are responsible for 11.6 MTPA. The next three largest carbon capture and storage projects are Shute Creek, Great Plains Synfuel and Petra Nova, which are all in the United States. Currently, it absorbs 8.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The Texas-based Century Plant is considered the most successful carbon capture facility in North America. The United States and Canada each have thirteen active carbon capture projects, with Canada planning for another 13 to be built soon. North America is a leader in carbon capture and storage facilities. Carbon Capture Projects in the United States and Canada As a result, there are several active and planned carbon capture projects around the world already setting the tone in global emissions-reduction projects. Captured carbon dioxide can be re-used in industrial processes. ![]() Governments and industries are using carbon capture technology to reduce emissions. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) latest report warning of a fading window of time to act on rapid emission reductions, decision-makers are working towards enacting solutions capable of having an impact. Many experts see carbon capture projects as key infrastructure additions in the global push towards reaching net-zero emissions. ![]()
