Why It Is Important

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, power demand is expected to reach record highs this year, primarily driven by the rapid expansion of data centers to support AI technology and industrial operations.

Carbon capture is a process of storing CO2 underground, a crucial strategy for the energy sector to mitigate emissions from industrial activity and reduce its impact on global greenhouse gas levels.
