Prospects for carbon capture received a boost in September when the International Energy Agency (IEA) said the emerging technology is “ critical ” to a clean-energy transition. Both technologies could mitigate climate change by removing emissions from existing fossil fuel generation or even pulling carbon out of the atmosphere.
