🧑🎓 Degrees Up 20% in France. Global CCS Capacity Tripled. 650M+ People in India Without Internet.
Chart of the Day #170 looks at University Degrees, Carbon Capture, and Internet Access
A recent study challenges current projections on scaling up carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to meet global climate targets. The research suggests a benchmark of 5 to 6 gigatonnes of CO2 storage per year by 2050.

🧑🎓 Degrees Awarded in France Increased by 20% in 5 Years
Over the past five years, the number of degrees awarded in France increased by 20%, with steady year-on-year growth. Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees saw significant increases, driving overall growth. While Bachelor Professional degrees grew slowly, PhDs experienced a very minor decline. This trend highlights the rising emphasis on academic qualifications, particularly at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
🌱 Global CCS Capacity More Than Tripled Between 2010 and 2022
The global capacity of operational Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities more than tripled between 2010 and 2022, with steady year-on-year growth. However, 2020 saw a small drop in capacity due to delays and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2022, CCS capacity rebounded significantly, reaching 42.58M tons, marking a strong recovery and continued expansion.
🛜 India Led with 650M+ People Not Connected to the Internet
India had the highest number of people not connected to the internet in 2022, with over 650M, more than double China’s 336.4M. This gap is partly due to India's large population and uneven technological development, with many rural areas lacking infrastructure. Despite progress, India’s vast population and digital divide contribute to its high number of unconnected individuals.
