Not exact matches

«There will be relatively high costs in developing this new nuclear facility but broadly comparable with other low carbon technologies such as offshore wind, and, potentially, carbon capture and storage applied to gas and coal fired power stations.

Beyond the 2020s, gas - fired power stations should only play a significant role if fitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, the report recommends.

To cut our emissions, fossil fuels need to be replaced with low - carbon energy sources such as nuclear power and renewables, and fossil fuel power stations need to be fitted with carbon - capture technology.

The research shows that, to meet the 2C target, no new carbon - emitting power stations can be built anywhere in the world unless they are later closed down or retrofitted with carbon capture and storage technology.

The good news is that it can be done with existing technology, by cutting energy waste, expanding the use of renewable sources, growing trees and crops (which remove carbon dioxide from the air) to turn into fuel, capturing the gas before it is released from power stations, and - maybe - using more nuclear energy.

BECCS, which combines bio-energy production (biomass fuel - power stations, pulp mills and bio-fuel plants) with carbon capture and storage technology, has the potential to generate «negative emissions» that could help society avoid exceeding critical thresholds in this century and beyond.

By retrofitting carbon capture to existing polluting facilities like coal power stations, they have the option of continuing operation with lower emissions, potentially overcoming political and economic obstacles to system transformation.
