CO2 trapping mechanisms in a geological formation.
Japan Times. The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to set up facilities both in Japan and worldwide to capture and store underground 200 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Half will be disposed of in Japan, the other half abroad.
This is the first time the ministry has set a numerical target to cut carbon dioxide emissions using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The target of 200 million tons is equivalent to one-sixth of current domestic carbon-dioxide emissions.
