What if carbon can’t be captured until 2025?
November 25, 2007
As James Kanter writes on his International Herald Tribune blog, the prospect of halting the peak of greenhouse gas emissions within next 8 years seems slim, if the assertions of CO2 panel experts prove true.
Shell’s Future Fuels and CO2 department general manager, Gijs van Breda Vriesman, said the 2020 deadline for a widely commercially available technology, called Carbon Capture and Sequestration, was unreachable.
He gave a better estimate – 2025. Yet, in the world’s situation of having to significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to prevent dreadful effects of global warming, 10 years later seems too late.
