The cost of implementing measures to limit global warming to 2\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels would be significantly lower than the projected damages. Global emissions continue to rise, however, and the study warns that if this trend persists, the economic toll could result in a 60% income loss by 2100.

Despite wide-scale adoption of CCUS by the steel industry, little to no progress has been made on commercial-scale CCUS for the decarbonization of blast furnaces. The technology still faces several challenges including low capture rates, high costs, and a history of underperformance. The adoption of alternative technology is also outpacing CCUS for blast furnace-based steelmaking, with a growing transition towards direct reduced iron (DRI)-based steelmaking fueled by green hydrogen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On the other hand\u2026:<\/strong> The report acknowledges that despite the skepticism surrounding CCUS, the tech will still have its place given that coal-based blast furnaces will not be completely obsolete, especially in Asia where steel demand is expected to remain high. \"I don't agree to the theory that carbon capture will not be effective for the steel industry...the solution to go to net zero has to come from carbon capture and storage,\" India\u2019s JSW Group Chief Sustainability Officer Prabodha Acharya told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/carbon-capture-will-not-play-major-role-steel-decarbonisation-report-says-2024-04-17\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>. \"The question is when the cost of carbon will cover the cost of capture and utilization.\"<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">DANGER ZONE- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- Climate change driven factors are set to greatly impact Tunisian agricultural exports <\/strong><strong>until 2050<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tap.info.tn\/en\/Portal-Economy\/17356569-climate-change\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">TAP<\/a> writes, citing a report by the Tunisian Institute of Competitiveness and Quantitative Studies.
