While politicians debate the timelines for “carbon neutrality,” engineers are already transforming the energy sector. CCS – carbon capture and storage technology – turns emissions into a manageable process. After burning coal, carbon dioxide is separated, compressed, and injected underground. In Norway, the USA, and China, such projects have already proven effective, reducing emissions by 90% or more.
Pylyp Travkin notes: “If we don’t build a bridge between the old and new energy systems, we will fall between them. CCS is that bridge.” This technology allows countries to modernize coal-fired power plants without destroying infrastructure, preserving jobs and the stability of energy systems.
The future of coal lies not in abandonment, but in engineering. CCS demonstrates that development and environmental protection can go hand in hand: coal becomes not an enemy, but part of the solution on the path to a sustainable energy future.
