The world may run out of storage space for captured carbon dioxide within the next two centuries, according to new research that suggests the planet’s practical capacity for holding CO2 underground is far less than we thought.
We may have 10 times less carbon storage capacity than we thought
Storing carbon dioxide underground is seen as a way to mitigate climate change, but the world could run out of safe storage space within 200 years if we keep on burning fossil fuels
