Global warming is the increase of Earth’s
surface temperature due to the effects of deforestations and greenhouse gases,
such as carbon dioxide emission from burning of fossils and fuels. Carbon
Capture and Storage is a process that captures the carbon dioxide emissions
from power plant and stores them underground that controls the release of large
quantities of Carbondioxide into the atmosphere. Finally, it was proved that
CCS is currently one of the best available technologies that drastically reduce
the greenhouse effect.
From the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution time period, the gas exterior from
burning of fossil fuels and extensive clearing of forests has contributed to a
increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and recently it has
been estimated that, if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the present rate,
Earth’s surface temperature could exceed historical values as early as
possible, with almost harmful effects on ecosystems, biodiversity and the
living conditions of people all over the world. Therefore Global climate is
maybe the most challenging environmental problem the world will be facing in
future.
To decrease the growth of greenhouse gases and its consequences, a set
of CO2-limiting policies will be needed. Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
technology is one of the most important technologies around the world that is
considered as one of the options for reducing CO2 gas and decreasing the global
warming although, some aspects of using this technology, especially those of
regulatory issues on this aspects should be more considered by States all
around the world. In this article we will consider the impacts of applying CCS
on the reduction of air pollution and global warming and also survey the Side
effects of this technology in the context of international environmental law. Read more..................
