Asia’s CCS buildout could boost emissions by 25 billion tonnes by 2050, threatening the 1.5C Paris goal

Report calls CCS deployment a costly trap for Asia’s climate

A Climate Analytics report warns that expanding carbon capture and storage across Asian countries could add about 25 billion tonnes of extra greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. The analysis argues CCS could lock economies into fossil fuel dependence, while cheaper and lower-risk renewable options are available—raising new concerns about meeting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit.
