Evaluate the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in mitigating climate change, and discuss the technical, economic, and environmental challenges associated with their deployment.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies aim to reduce CO2 emissions from industrial sources and power plants by capturing and storing it underground. While CCS has the potential to significantly mitigate climate change, challenges include high costs, energy requirements, and ensuring long-term storage safety. Technical advancements, economic incentives, and robust regulatory frameworks are needed to overcome these barriers and scale up CCS deployment.
