Carbon capture approaches have been widely criticised as unfeasible by global research institutions and environmental groups. Any malfunction or failure can result in major health and environmental hazards @c4.center/video/7482641247035870480" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@c4.center/vid…

Given the research-based criticisms of CCUS technology which demonstrate more failures than successes — with primary issues being health and environmental concerns — it is unlikely that this technology will be able to fulfill its stated goals.

Malaysia has been plagued with plastic and e-waste imports, with such waste piling up in illegal landfills causing significant environmental pollution and adversely affecting human health. Accepting carbon waste poses an even bigger risk.

The Carbon Capture law demonstrates the government’s acceptance of waste being a commodity and profit-making opportunity. However, importing waste from other countries only exacerbates the issue of Malaysia being the world’s dumping ground. malaysiakini.com/columns/736583 @rafiziramli
