Asia’s CCS plans could add 25 billion tonnes of extra emissions by 2050, risking the Paris Agreement’s warming limit goal: Report

This "risky technology" pushes economies into costly fossil fuel dependence, despite its poor track record and the availability of cheaper, less risky renewable alternatives.
