This fact sheet by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) examines Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), arguing that the technology fails to meaningfully reduce greenhouse emissions and may prolong dependence on fossil fuels. It details the technical limitations, safety risks, and economic costs of CCS, while contrasting it with more effective climate solutions like renewable energy and demand reduction.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines the current state and prospects of carbon capture and storage (CCS), describing it as an "integrated infrastructure" rather than a single technology. While the history of CCS is marked by high failure rates and limited impact on global emissions, the document notes a recent surge in investment and project announcements, particularly in North America and Europe. The author argues that CCS is most critical for the cement industry, where few alternatives exist, but is largely uncompetitive in the power sector compared to renewables.

This executive summary from the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) examines the intersection of the fossil fuel and agrochemical industries. It argues that the production and use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contribute to biodiversity loss, human rights violations, and the climate crisis, while the industry promotes 'false solutions' like carbon capture and storage (CCS) to maintain fossil fuel dependence.
