Industry
Capture and storage are explored for process emissions that are hard to avoid, as in cement.
Manufacturing, steel, cement and chemicals
Carbon
Carbon removal, capture and storage
Overview
Capturing carbon dioxide at the source or from the air, and the methods for storing it durably.
Challenges01
What makes change hard
Capturing carbon dioxide takes energy and is costly.
Stored carbon has to stay stored for a very long time, and that has to be verified.
Removal cannot stand in for cutting emissions at the source.
Opportunities02
Where change is happening
Capture at industrial sites whose emissions are hard to avoid.
Natural and engineered ways of drawing carbon dioxide out of the air.
Measurement, reporting and verification that make claims trustworthy.
Solutions
Approaches in this system.
- 01
Carbon capture at industrial sites
Separating carbon dioxide from a plant's exhaust before it reaches the air.
Connections
How it shapes the others.

Nature
Forests, soils and wetlands store carbon, and can release it when degraded.
Ecosystems, forests and biodiversity
Your questions, answered.
Quick answers about the platform and its content.
One of eight broad areas, such as energy, buildings or water, where climate change is felt and addressed. Solutions and projects are organised around them.
They cover the main sources of emissions and the main places adaptation happens, while staying few enough to hold in mind at once.
Only well-established mechanisms are included, described in words. No quantities are attached unless a source supports them.
Yes, constantly. That is the point of mapping them together: a change in one shifts what is possible in others.
From published research and practice. Every entry is reviewed by people who know the field and linked to the systems, solutions and projects it relates to.
