Environmental Science
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Technologies
Quick fact
The Sleipner project in Norway has been storing about 1 million tonnes of CO₂ per year under the North Sea since 1996—the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars off the road annually.
Why this is interesting
Every year, we release over 36 billion tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere. What if we could catch most of it before it escapes, and even turn it into something useful?
