Carbon Capture and Transport. Cranfield University

It is widely accepted that greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels, are the main contributors to climate change. Fossil fuels currently satisfy approximately 88% of the global commercial primary energy demand and in spite of the significant efforts to increase energy production from renewable sources, fossil fuels are predicted to continually play a major role in near-future energy supply. To mitigate climate change while meeting energy demand, the UK and other developed countries have set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS).
