Revolutionizing the Future: Innovative Solutions for Carbon Capture and Utilization

What is the mechanism behind carbon capture and storage technology? Can Alaska benefit from this innovation while contributing to the decrease of worldwide CO2 emissions? It might seem unbelievable, but experts from the state claim that Alaska’s Cook Inlet possesses the optimal tidewater access storage on the entire western coastline of North America. There is also considerable potential for storage in aging oil fields located on the North Slope. But how exactly does this technology function, and what implications could it have for the industry and state finances? We explore the prospects of carbon sequestration in this Talk of Alaska.
