3. Global Warming, Climate Change and CCUS
An overview of the impact of global warming and climate
change, the primary contributors of greenhouse gas
emissions, and the role of CCUS in reducing these emissions.
4. Global Warming and Climate Change
โ Industrial revolution caused rapid
increase in use of conventional fuels
and trapped greenhouse gases in the
earth's atmosphere, leading to global
warming.
โ Global warming changes weather
patterns, causing climate change.
โ The most important environmental
issue of this century.
5. Fossil Fuels and CO2
Emissions
โ Primary contributor to global
warming is CO2 emission from fossil
fuel combustion.
โ Coal, oil, and natural gas combustion
contributes to CO2 emission.
โ Electricity production is the largest
source of CO2 emission in India.
6. India's GHG Emissions
โ India's primary energy consumption
grew at 4%, contributing to 11% of
global energy growth.
โ Electricity production is the largest
source of CO2 emission in India.
โ Rise in India's GHG emission due to
increased consumption of fossil fuels,
mostly supported by coal.
7. CCUS and Carbon-
Neutral Energy
โ CCUS/CCS technologies reduce
CO2 emissions in industrial
processes and the fossil fueled-
power sector.
โ CCUS enables new clean energy
pathways and paves the way for
carbon dioxide removal technologies.
โ CCUS is essential in achieving a
carbon-neutral energy system to
balance emissions.
8. Climate Goals and CCUS
โ To limit temperature increase and
achieve climate goals set in Paris
agreement, global energy systems
need to transform with CCUS
technology.
โ CCUS technology is a major part of a
least cost scenario after energy
efficiency and renewable power
generation.
โ Various scenarios proposed to reach
climate goals suggest CCUS
technology.
9. CCUS has the potential to
reduce CO2 emissions by 14%
by 2050.
CCUS is also helpful in
facilitating the transition to a
low-carbon energy system.
Role of CCUS in Climate Change Mitigation
CCUS is a key factor in
mitigating climate change and
achieving net-zero emissions.
