Instead of releasing harmful gases from factories or power plants, the system captures them at the source and either stores them underground or repurposes them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2482\">This process plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing climate change.
