Penerapan teknologi Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) berkembang sebagai salah satu solusi mitigasi perubahan iklim untuk mengurangi emisi karbon dioksida dari aktivitas industri. Teknologi ini berpotensi mendukung transisi energi rendah karbon, tetapi juga menimbulkan persoalan ekologis terkait dampak jangka panjang terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi penerapan Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) terhadap keberlanjutan lingkungan serta menilai kesesuaiannya berdasarkan perspektif land ethics Aldo Leopold.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui pendekatan deskriptif, studi literatur, dan analisis filosofis. Data diperoleh melalui buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan sumber relevan lainnya yang berkaitan dengan Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) serta teori land ethics Aldo Leopold. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan prinsip land ethics yang menekankan integritas, stabilitas, dan keindahan komunitas biotik sebagai dasar penilaian etis.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) berperan dalam mengurangi emisi karbon dioksida, tetapi juga memiliki potensi dampak ekologis jangka panjang. Berdasarkan perspektif land ethics Aldo Leopold, penerapan Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) masih menunjukkan kecenderungan antroposentris karena lebih berorientasi pada penyelesaian masalah lingkungan melalui kepentingan manusia. Oleh karena itu, penerapan teknologi ini perlu mempertimbangkan hubungan etis manusia dengan alam sebagai bagian dari komunitas biotik.

The implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology has developed as one of the climate change mitigation solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial activities. This technology has the potential to support the transition toward low carbon energy, but it also raises ecological concerns regarding its long-term environmental impacts. This study aims to analyze the implications of implementing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for environmental sustainability and to assess its compatibility based on Aldo Leopold’s land ethics perspective.

This study uses a qualitative method through a descriptive approach, literature study, and philosophical analysis. The data were obtained from books, scientific journals, and other relevant sources related to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Aldo Leopold’s land ethics theory. The analysis was conducted using the principles of land ethics, which emphasize the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community as the basis for ethical evaluation.

The results show that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions but also has potential long-term ecological impacts. From Aldo Leopold’s land ethics perspective, the implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) still reflects an anthropocentric tendency because it focuses on solving environmental problems primarily through human interests. Therefore, the implementation of this technology requires consideration of the ethical relationship between humans and nature as part of the biotic community.
