Britain Pledges $28.5 Billion for Carbon Capture

The United Kingdom has committed up to £28.5 billion to accelerate its carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in an effort to meet its net-zero emissions goal by 2050. The pledge comes as the nation prioritizes decarbonization and looks to strengthen its leadership in the development of carbon capture technology. CCS is viewed as a crucial component of the UK's strategy to reduce carbon emissions, particularly in hard-to-decarbonize sectors like heavy industry and energy production.

This investment will fund multiple large-scale carbon capture and storage projects, with a focus on capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and power generation, preventing the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. The technology also enables the permanent storage of captured carbon deep underground, significantly lowering emissions.

The British government has stated that the £28.5 billion funding could support job creation, technology development, and infrastructure expansion in carbon capture. With this move, the UK hopes to incentivize innovation and industrial growth while positioning itself as a global leader in CCS.

The funding is part of the UK's broader commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. CCS is increasingly seen as a key tool to decarbonize sectors that are challenging to transition, like cement production, steel manufacturing, and natural gas processing. The government expects the initiative to not only reduce carbon emissions but also ensure long-term energy security and sustainability.

Haryana Proposes New Policy on Tree Felling

The Haryana government has proposed a new policy on tree felling across non-forest land, which would remove the requirement for approval in urban areas on plots allocated by government bodies for residential, industrial, or infrastructure development.
