Such limits would require the new plants to deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which has not been used on a wide scale.

Carbon Tracker's analysis assumes that carbon capture and storage (CCS) will remove 24Gt of CO2 by 2035, but says this would require a huge expansion of CCS − a technology that remains unproven at a commercial scale, and which many scientists doubt will work soon enough.

Four years of study and talking to industry insiders and environmental organisations, some of which have backed CCS, show the arguments for carbon capture differ from country to country, but in none of them is the technology taking off, he reports.

Therefore, much attention is being given to opportunities to employ carbon - capture - and - storage (or CCS) technologies, which would separate carbon dioxide from other stack gases, liquify it, and store it underground for long periods of time.
