Britain has started to test carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at a working coal-burning power plant in Scotland. This has been hailed as a milestone” in the country’s green energy revolution.
With a potential in removing around 90 percent of the CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels, the CCS is expected to help ensure energy supply in an environmental-friendly way.
Britain has also joined hands with Norway to tap the potential of the North Sea to store CO2, as part of its efforts to accelerate the commercial application of the green tech at an earlier date.
Britain has set off on a journey to fulfil its ambition to lead the world's low-carbon transformation.
