This initiative aims to capture and permanently store CO2 emissions. Why is this important? Accumulated carbon dioxide caused the limnological disaster of Lake Nyos in 1986; A sudden release of CO2 from the volcanic lake nearly drowned 1,700 people. Fortunately, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is designed to be a safe and controlled process.
Projects such as Sleipner and Snøhvit in Norway have shown that CCS can operate without major accidents by injecting CO2 deep into the seafloor and keeping it at high pressure and temperature. The process also aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, potentially for millions of years, barring “unforeseen catastrophic events.”
