Recently, Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he plans to donate $100 million to reward the best carbon capture technology.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) refers to the process of directly collecting carbon dioxide from emission sources (such as power plants), transporting it to storage sites, and isolating it from the air for a long period of time.
Carbon capture technology can prevent large amounts of carbon dioxide from being released during power generation or other activities that use fossil fuels, thereby mitigating global warming and ocean acidification. Currently, carbon capture technology is relatively inefficient and costly.
