Britain Backs Plan to Store Carbon Dioxide Under the Sea
Published On Oct 4, 2024, 7:38 AM
The British government has announced support for two major carbon capture and storage projects led by BP and Eni in Northern England, with an investment of £22 billion over 25 years. This initiative aims to make the UK a leader in carbon capture technology, create around 4,000 jobs, and support a further 50,000 jobs. While the government views this as a means to combat climate change and stimulate economic growth, some environmental groups express skepticism about its effectiveness.
