Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a natural gas that allows sunlight to reach the Earth, and also prevents some of the sun’s heat from radiating back into space. This process warms the planet and is known as the greenhouse effect. Natural warming of the planet allows life to be sustained on Earth. While C02 and the greenhouse effect are necessary for sustainable life on Earth, problems occur when human inventions designed to burn fossil fuels such as power plants and transportation vehicles release huge quantities of additional CO2 into the atmosphere. 

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is viewed as a critical technology for reducing atmospheric carbon emissions of CO2 from power plants and other large facilities. CCS involves trapping the carbon dioxide at its emission source, transporting it to a storage location (usually deep underground) and isolating it. This means that excess CO2 could potentially be blocked from entering the atmosphere. CCS involves three major steps: 

1. Trapping and separating the Co2 from the other gases;
2. Transporting the captured Co2 to a storage location; and
3. Storing the Co2 far away from the atmosphere, typically underground or deep in the ocean. 

Global climate change has been a hot topic of concern nationally and internationally. Worldwide interest in CCS stems from three factors: 

1. Recognition that reduction of large amounts of Co2 is necessary to avoid serious climate change;
2. Realization that large emissions reductions will not happen simply by using less energy or by replacing fossil fuel with alternative sources of energy that emit little or not Co2; and 
3. Adding CCS to other greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction measures significantly lowers the cost of mitigating climate change.

Mitigating climate change is one of the major reasons why Camber Energy, Inc (NYSE American:CEI), chose to partner with ESG Clean Energy, LLC (“ESG”). The ESG Clean Energy System is designed to generate clean electricity from internal combustion engines and utilize waste heat to capture ⁓ 100%of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the engine without loss of efficiency, and in a manner to facilitate the production of precious commodities (e.g. distilled/ de-ionized water; UREA (NH4); ammonia (NH3); ethanol; and methanol) for sale. According to James Doris, the President and CEO of Camber, partnering with ESG positions Camber as an “industry leader in terms of being able to assist with the power generation needs of commercial and industrial organizations while at the same time helping them reduce their carbon footprint to satisfy regulatory requirements or to simply follow best ESG-practices.”

Although carbon capture and storage may seem like a miracle solution, it's important to remember that CCS is not a license to continue emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. Whatever the future holds for CCS, other emission-reduction efforts will still be necessary in mitigating climate change.
