The technology is still developing and cost remains the biggest challenge. The world today has reached a stage, when all means to combat\u00a0 change should come into play.<\/p>\n Source: climatechange.ca.gov<\/em><\/p>\n The whole process of carbon capture can be simplified into three stages:<\/p>\n According to EPA it is estimated that if carbon capture is applied to a 500 MW thermal power plant, amount of GHG avoided would be equivalent to planting more than 60 million trees. It is a win-win situation for the world at large. The CO2 can be captured from industries\/ factories and the stored CO2 can be used in other industrial applications. The technology is already being used in USA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Recently the Norwegian government announced the development of three full-scale CCS projects. This technology will be inevitable for nations who still depend on thermal\/ fossil fuel power generation. India ratified the Paris Climate change<\/a> deal lately, and committed to create an additional carbon sink. This is estimated to absorb 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2<\/strong> by 2030 by increasing its forest cover. The country already set a record by planting more than 50 million trees in just one day<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n![\"carbon-capture\"](\"http:\/\/www.greenworldinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Carbon-capture.jpg\")
