the claim

Carbon capture and storage prevents most of the CO2 from fossil fuel power plants from reaching the atmosphere.

CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that carbon capture and storage prevents most of the CO2 from fossil fuel power plants from reaching the atmosphere?

Partly. One peer-reviewed overview and one review describe carbon capture as capturing CO2 before release and as an effective fixation technology, but neither quantifies how much of a plant's CO2 is kept from the atmosphere. A Wikipedia article reports that in at least one coal retrofit the actual emissions reduction averaged only about 10.8% over 20 years, indicating real-world capture can fall well short of 'most'.
