In this episode they examine how carbon capture and storage (CCS) can intercept CO₂ at industrial point sources, the engineering and economic constraints that still impede large-scale deployment, and the regulatory frameworks required for the technology to deliver verifiable mitigation. Drawing on recent International Energy Agency data, the discussion identifies the heavy-industry segments and regional contexts where CCS is most likely to achieve substantive emissions reductions and assesses how it fits within broader net-zero strategies.
