Document<\/span><\/a> describes the positions of the Climate Action Network (CAN) on carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCS) and geoengineering. CAN is a global network of over 1,900 civil society organisations in over 130 countries, advocating for collective and sustainable action to combat the climate crisis and achieve social justice.<\/p>\n

The document addresses three main topics:<\/p>\n

1. CCS:<\/strong> CAN Concerned that CCS distracts from the need to take coordinated action across sectors to drastically reduce emissions in the near future<\/strong>CAN believes that CCS is largely unproven technology<\/strong>, whose potential to achieve significant emissions reductions by mid-century is currently limited. The document further highlights that CCS is not needed in the energy sector because there are faster, cleaner, safer, more efficient and cheaper ways to reduce CO2 emissions, such as phasing out fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable energy sources, energy efficiency and energy savings.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Solar Radiation Modification (SRM):<\/strong> CAN strongly opposes the deployment of SRM and real-world experiments<\/strong>CAN recognizes that the SRM does not address the root causes of global warming and does not bring about the fundamental transformative change in our societies that is needed to address the global resource consumption crisis, equity and justice in the fight against climate change, and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.<\/p>\n

3. Marine geoengineering:<\/strong> CAN Calls for the implementation and enforcement of existing regulations, resolutions and decisions under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the London Convention\/London Protocol that prevent the deployment and establish strict controls on external tests of marine geoengineering<\/strong>The document emphasizes that there is no evidence that marine geoengineering can be scaled up to provide safe, effective, and permanently guaranteed removal of atmospheric CO2 with neutral or positive outcomes for the ocean environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the document emphasizes that the priority should be reducing greenhouse gas emissions rather than relying on unproven and potentially harmful technologies such as CCS and geoengineering<\/strong>. Spring<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Glossary of key terms<\/h3>\n

Carbon capture and storage (CCS):<\/strong> A technology that captures CO2 from emission sources, transports it, and stores it in geological formations.<\/p>\n

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS):<\/strong> A technology that burns biomass to produce energy and captures and stores CO2, theoretically achieving negative emissions.<\/p>\n

Direct Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS):<\/strong> A technology that filters CO2 directly from the air and stores it in geological formations.<\/p>\n

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU):<\/strong> Technology that captures CO2 and converts it into useful products.<\/p>\n

Enhanced oil and gas recovery (EOR\/EGR):<\/strong> A technique that uses CO2 to increase oil and gas production from existing deposits.<\/p>\n

Geoengineering:<\/strong> Frustrated modifications of Earth systems to mitigate climate change, divided into solar radiation manipulation (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR).<\/p>\n

Solar Radiation Modification (SRM):<\/strong> Techniques that reflect solar radiation back into space to reduce global warming.<\/p>\n

Marine geoengineering:<\/strong> The application of geoengineering in the marine environment, including techniques to increase the ocean's absorption of CO2 or manipulate solar radiation over the ocean.<\/p>\n

Precautionary principle:<\/strong> A principle that requires caution when introducing new technologies and activities with potentially harmful consequences, even if these consequences are not fully scientifically confirmed.<\/p>\n

Climate Action Network International (CAN):<\/strong> A global network of over 1,900 non-governmental organizations focused on fighting the climate crisis and achieving social justice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
