Asia CCS plans: Asia’s CCS plans could add 25 billion tonnes of extra emissions by 2050, risking the Paris Agreement’s warming limit goal: Report

New Delhi: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Projects can be invoiced as a relief solution by fossil fuel industries and other stakeholders, but a report published by a global Science and Policy Institute on Monday, a report of 25 billion tons by Asian countries, said that a 2050 -ton emission can be added. He also said that the movement would push countries on expensive and competitive fossil fuel paths.

“This (25 billion tons extra emissions), at all times, is more than three Asian countries (China, India and Japan). He said.

Globally, total CO2 emissions were around 41.6 billion tons last year in 2024, from 40.6 billion tons. This includes the rest of the 37.4 billion fossil CO2 emissions and land use change (forest).
Referring to India, the report said that the country has less net CCS plan, but despite lower cost alternatives and significantly less risky renewable energies, it could significantly return to this technology. “If China or India is more decisively returning to future CCS addiction, it may have a catastrophe climate consequences.

The CCS refers to the processes that injected separate CO2 produced by energy or industrial applications, then injected into exhausted oil reservoirs, aquifers or other geological structures aimed at compressing the compression, pipeline, ship or other mode.

Although India is less developed than China in CCS policy support, the country is currently actively working on a national ‘mission’ to distribute carbon capture, use and storage (CCU) technologies. “Asia at a turning point: Although these countries have not yet fell into a high CCS path, most CCS policies, especially in Japan, South Korea and Australia to protect the fossil fuel industry. This is not only for the Paris Agreement, but also for these economies themselves, but also for the CEO of the current climate analysis and the CEO of the existing climatic analysis. The largest and most effective economies such as South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as a key regional partner, Australia (Asian Fossil Fuel Trade and CCS plans).

Referring to certain examples, the report marked that CCS has a bad history as long as it captures 50% of emissions in the best way or less. “Most of the emissions caught to remove more fossil fuel are used,” he said.

James Bowen, the chief author of the report, said, “We find a strong possibility that Asian countries can increase their support to CCS by 2050, which risks the risk of reaching the Paris agreement 1.5 degrees C heating limit, the risks towards the world, and the costs of fossil fuels and tracking costs are important.” He said.
