The sustainability and the climate change mitigation proposals. case of study: CO2 capture and geological storage

Abstract

The world has already experienced several crises and all of them contributed to what become the present today. Many of them were observed by humanity and many others were produced by men. Humanity lives, nowadays, probably the most critical moment of the history. Conducted over time by the construction of unsustainable development models and and superficial. So, It is considered the sustainability thru the Theory of Systems and the Theory of Complexity as a way for a structural transformation on this system. Then, standards, the current society faces a critical moment on an emerging necessity of transformation. One of the principal question at this moment is the growing evidence of climate change, produced by this system and, then going, also become a producer of an intensification on urban, social, political and economics problems and, especially the quality of life on Earth. After this scenario, drew it up a discussion forward the climate change mitigation proposals, with a theoretical case of study on CO2 Capture and Geological Storage (CCGS). The question addressed here is if those proposals are considering the totality of the problem or are only palliative solutions, restricted is used the CCGS as an exemple, for a discussion on sustainability applied to this type of proposal to increase its mitigation potential, noting not only the technology, but also the social, environmental, economic, cultural and political aspects.
