carbon capture

noun

A set of technologies designed to capture emissions of carbon dioxide from sources like power plants and industrial facilities before they enter the atmosphere. Carbon capture, said the IEA, should sit alongside plans to electrify economies using renewable energy sources, replace fossil fuels with bioenergy and swap methane-rich gas for clean-burning hydrogen in factories, transport and homes.
