I believe the space and Earth is beautiful place for what we know as space and Earth the planet which is in a Climate Emergency. However also think in my personal opinion the Individuals who feel in their opinion that Space, Rish Sunak #energysecurity, ‘Carbon capture,’
or even Ocean is the solutions to the Climate Emergency is not the answer. Have a duty to take the points of views and recommendations more seriously by fellow Activist / Campaigners and Experts. I was shared a saying once. If the very object is advisor not to be touched, then do not touch the object as we or the individual do not know what they are waking up.” I’ve come observer how #Humankind can in some cases be it’s self-destruction to the area filed: history {time period} of its own unknown narrative of unrest. Renewable energy is much more of solutions based idea for our world to be achieving for in result to address the climate emergency with immediate effect. #ASAP

“The #Oceans and #Space are not the solutions to our Climate Emergency. The solutions to our #ClimateEmergency is #Humankind It’s self to change our behaviour and way of life to our Mother Nature, #PlanetEarth!”

Disadvantages of Carbon Capture

#Carboncapture reduces the carbon released in the atmosphere and therefore, it is recognized as one of the solutions to help address climate change and global warming. Despite this, carbon capture and storage (CCS) does not come without some disadvantages.

The methods and CCS technologies that are necessary for carbon capture have some cost implications attached to them. Therefore, it can be very costly for power plants to generate electricity through fossil fuels. There are several concerns with respect to the safety of the storage of carbon dioxide in huge volumes at a single location due to the possibility of leakages, which can lead to environmental contamination if not handled correctly.

The possibility of leakages could also be a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes or can be a result of human-induced incidents such as damage as a result of wars that can damage underground storage reservoirs.

Many critics have questioned the cost efficiency of basalt formation storage. For this option, 25 tons of water will be required for each ton of carbon dioxide to be buried. There is a possibility that volcanic rock microbes can also digest the carbonates and hence produce methane gas which can be another problem.

Another disadvantage of carbon capture storage is that it is not adequate to successfully deal with climate change. The emissions that come from heat and power generation as a result of using fossil fuels only account for about 25% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, while 60% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, agriculture, and other related industrial activities. These emissions are currently not being captured by carbon capture and storage.
