Should we embrace carbon capture and storage?

November 1, 2014

Wild Lands Advocate article, November 2014, by Dr. John R. Parkins.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process of capturing CO2 from burning fossil fuels and storing this waste material permanently in geological formations. Some believe that a changing climate is such an urgent threat, there is no choice but to implement every available technology that can help reduce emissions. Others would argue CCS technology extends our carbon intensive infrastructure, it perpetuates dependence on carbon-based energy sources and it plays no role in meaningful transition to renewable energy sources.

We have spectacular wilderness in Alberta, much of it under some form of protection. Every square millimetre of it has had to be fought for - will always have to be fought for, forever and ever. The struggle to retain and repair wilderness is conducted not just by a few individuals, but by large numbers of committed people, from all walks of life, all working in various ways toward the same end. We need to be grateful to all of them.
