Why carbon capture and storage

Another approach to reducing C02 emissions from fossil fuels use is the development of C02 capture and storage technologies (CCS).1 With these, fossil fuels should be converted into electricity, hydrogen or other secondary energy carriers while 

1 The capture and storage of C02 has been investigated for several decades already. However, it was only during the 

1990s that this approach of avoiding GHG emissions reached an intensive discussion in the science community.
