Getting carbon capture right will be hard - but that doesn't make it optionalby Myles Allen | Professor of Geosystem Science | University of OxfordOxford UK (SPX) Oct 22, 2024
The UK government has given the go-ahead to carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) schemes worth GBP 22 billion (US$28.6 billion).

The UK government has given the go-ahead to carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) schemes worth £22 billion (US$28.6 billion). Critics are insisting that this technology—which involves capturing carbon as it is emitted or taking it back out of the atmosphere, then pumping it into rocks deep underground—is unsafe, unproven and unaffordable. Defenders are responding with painstaking rebuttals.

Following a groundswell of voluntary net-zero targets by companies, regulators are increasingly introducing mandatory rules. If governments can overcome the barriers to rigour, coherence and fairness, such mandatory ‘ground rules’ have the potential to overcome the obstructionism that holds back a just climate transition.

So, COP28 has just called for "transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science". Is this the moment that the world finally decided to hit the brakes, even if ever so gently, on fossil-fuelled global warming? By Professor Myles Allen, professor of Geosystem Science. The last COP I attended in this region was COP18, in Doha, 2012.

The last COP I attended in this region was COP18, in Doha, 2012. There, I was talking about some recent papers claiming that 50-80% reductions would not be enough, and that to stop global warming, carbon dioxide emissions would need to be reduced to net zero.

That may not be a popular approach right now – to stop fossil fuels from causing further global warming before we stop using fossil fuels. But it is going to be a major topic of debate in the UAE because, if we do not reach agreement on this, then 1.5 will most definitely be dead. We are going to generate more carbon dioxide than we can dump in the atmosphere and still limit warming anywhere near 1.5C. To pretend otherwise is, dare I say it, denial.
