Realistic costs of carbon capture
Coal currently provides more than half the United States’ electricity, and we have 261 billion tons of reserves, 27% of the world’s total. Yet burning a single ton of coal can create more than two tons of CO2, a primary contributor to climate change. To reduce CO2 emissions, a technique known as carbon capture and storage (CCS) is under development.
