What is carbon capture and utilization? Here’s what you need to know

To reach net zero, the world needs to remove 10 billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere each year by 2050. This is 5 times the amount currently being removed. Carbon capture and utilization technologies (CCU) can contribute to large-scale industry decarbonization by capturing carbon from industrial sources before it’s released and using it to benefit both the environment and the economy.
