Climate change mitigation requires the large-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Recent plans indicate an eight-fold increase in CCS capacity by 2030, yet feasibility expansion is debated. Using historical growth other policy-driven technologies, we show that if double between 2023 2025 their failure rates decrease half, could reach 0.37 GtCO
<title>Abstract</title> Carbon capture and storage (CCS) including its negative emission applications play a key role in climate change mitigation. Recent industry plans indicate an eight-fold increase capacity by 2030, yet the feasibility of rapidly upscaling CCS is debated due to past failures long-term constraints. Here we re-focus this debate on growth near-term constructing plausible ranges deployment based empirical evidence from other policy-driven technologies. We show that under...
