Tech giants like Microsoft and JP MorganChase are investing heavily in carbon removal strategies, particularly through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). This process involves paying paper mill owners to install equipment that captures carbon dioxide, aiming to permanently sequester it deep underground. Despite the potential benefits, experts express concerns regarding the efficacy and environmental impact of BECCS technology.
Additionally, advancements in nuclear energy are represented by startups like Kairos Power, which is developing next-generation reactors. By using molten salt for cooling, these reactors promise safer operations and the ability to provide reliable, decarbonized power. Kairos Power’s approach could potentially result in nuclear energy that competes economically with natural gas, reflecting a broader trend in climate tech towards innovative, sustainable solutions.
