As the impacts of the climate crisis intensify and the need for decarbonization becomes more urgent, attention is being given to the technology known as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
FoE Japan, an international environmental NGO, has released two animation videos to inform the issue of CCS.

CCS, capturing CO2 emitted from power plants and other sources and storing underground, may sound like a dream technology. However in reality, CCS cannot be a solution for CO2 emission countermeasures.

“Can CCS Be the Dream Solution to Climate Change? No Pitfalls?” – tentative translation
(The text and audio are in Japanese, but you can switch to English audio in YouTube settings to watch.)

Part 1 explained 5 basic issues of CCS.

Part 2 explained the issues with Japan’s CCS policy and the problem of dumping CO2 overseas.

CCS projects may progress in where you live. Let’s learn about the issue of CCS.
