For carbon capture and storage (CCS) to be a truly effective option within the efforts being made to mitigate climate change, it must be sustainable. An assessment is therefore required regarding how the deployment of CCS will positively contribute towards the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This assessment reviews current evidence regarding the interactions between CCS technologies and the SDGs to improve the accessibility of information regarding the relevance and sustainability of CCS as a climate mitigation technology. Implicit in the SDG logic is that the goals depend on each other and enablers for one goal may therefore also potentially act as inhibiters for another goal. When evaluated against the SDGs, CCS shows several positive ‘enabling’ interactions, and fundamentally CCS is ‘indivisible’ with SDG 13 regarding combating climate change. The main ‘inhibiting’ impacts are predominantly due to the requirement for extra energy per unit of electricity produced and the environmental impacts associated with the use of some capture systems. None of the inhibiting impacts identified had ‘cancelling’ interactions against the SDGs covered in this assessment. CCS is therefore a sustainable option to combat climate change and does not prohibit the achievement of any other SDG.

为了使碳捕集与封存（CCS）在减轻气候变化的努力中成为真正有效的选择，它必须是可持续的。因此，需要评估CCS的部署将如何在2030年之前对联合国可持续发展目标（SDGs）的实现做出积极贡献。该评估评估有关CCS技术与SDG之间相互作用的当前证据，以改善有关以下方面的信息的可及性CCS作为缓解气候变化技术的相关性和可持续性。SDG逻辑中隐含的是，目标彼此依赖，因此一个目标的促成因素也可能会潜在地成为另一目标的抑制者。根据SDG进行评估时，CCS显示出一些积极的“促成”互动，从根本上讲，CCS与SDG 13在应对气候变化方面是“不可分割的”。主要的“抑制”影响主要是由于单位发电量需要额外的能量，以及与使用某些捕集系统相关的环境影响。所确定的抑制性影响均未与本评估报告所涵盖的可持续发展目标发生“取消”相互作用。因此，CCS是应对气候变化的可持续选择，并且不禁止任何其他可持续发展目标的实现。所确定的抑制性影响均未与本评估报告所涵盖的可持续发展目标发生“取消”相互作用。因此，CCS是应对气候变化的可持续选择，并且不禁止任何其他可持续发展目标的实现。所确定的抑制性影响均未与本评估报告所涵盖的可持续发展目标发生“取消”相互作用。因此，CCS是应对气候变化的可持续选择，并且不禁止任何其他可持续发展目标的实现。
