Oil and gas companies are proposing the widespread use of carbon capture to deal with their increasing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, in the United States, there have been nearly 100 leaks or ruptures on existing carbon pipelines since 2010. Learn more about carbon capture – and why it isn’t a climate solution – here.
