WATCH: How Does Carbon Capture Actually Work?


These translations are done via Google Translate

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) form a major part of a lot of governments’ net-zero plans and also roadmaps like the IEA’s Net-Zero by 2050 roadmap that the published recently.

But so far, we have had very few successful carbon capture projects, even though many smart and motivated people have been trying very hard for about 30 or 40 years.

I’ve been hearing contradictory things about carbon capture. It’s apparently a mature technology, but on the other hand we are expecting an imminent breakthrough that will see costs drop and adoption rise.

This sounded strange to me, but since I didn’t actually know how carbon capture works, it was hard to get an idea about where the technology maturity is right now, and how its likely to develop.

So I tracked down a chemical engineer – Marc Allen – who has been working in industrial gases and sustainability for the last 20 years. And Marc answered all my questions about what kinds of carbon capture there are, what applications they can be used for, and how carbon capture actually works.
