This article discusses the European science academies position on relying on carbon capture technologies. They state that policymakers are being ‘seriously over-optimistic’ about carbon capture technologies, as they are not scalable to the point where they can be effective. Here’s a quote from the article:
“These technologies offer only limited realistic potential to remove carbon from the atmosphere, and not at the scale envisaged in some climate scenarios,” wrote the report’s authors, a group of experts representing the national science academies of the European Union member states, Norway and Switzerland.”
