Are plants the key to succeeding with carbon dioxide removal?
Plants capture CO2 naturally through photosynthesis. When those plants decay or are burned, the CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. However, if we capture and permanently store those CO2 emissions, we can actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere. This is known as carbon dioxide removal – or CDR.
How can we decarbonise cement production?
Cement production alone is responsible for around 7% of global, man-made CO2 emissions. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can quickly reduce CO2 emissions from industries like cement, which society depends on but are difficult to decarbonise.
