party. she's a very intelligent woman was was a bad choice when chile was marking the 40th anniversary of the coup. >> reporter: the closing campaign rally was held in a small city 400 kilometers south of santiago. out of the spotlight and attracting just a few other people it didn't look like a victory celebration. some certainty, some great doubts. the biggest doubt probably being 5 million new names on the electoral register out of a total of 13 million. for the first time in chilean politics, voting is not obligatory, and whether this vote will go to a second round, is unknown. for now we are watching, waiting
1:38 pm
and we should have clear results early on sunday evening. >> thank you for that. daniel in the port city of valparaiso. now back with more news from europe. >> reporter: climate activities have singled out e.u. japan and brazil, a thousand of them braved cold winds to march in the capitol of warsaw where conferences are taking place. they're trying to lay the groundwork to tackle climate change at this point it doesn't look like. everybody has to step up their game, especially the e.u. australia, japan, and brazil, who have behaved in a very bad manner this week. >> reporter: well, norway is trying to bury it's carbon problems, literally. western europe's biggest gas producer is investing millions
1:39 pm
of dollars in its technology to lower it's greenhouse impact including carbon capture. how does that work? first, co2 is separated from other gasses as they're produced at large facilities like power plants and steel meals. it's been compressed and transported to a suitable site for geological storage. finally the co2 is injected into deep underground rock formations beneath the surface. we report now from norway's carbon capture testing facility. >> reporter: it rises out of the ground like a city of steel. this is the largest industrial site in norway. and it's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide which can contribute to global warming. nestled on the site among a warren of pipes and chimneys, this test facility they're
1:40 pm
trying to work out how to best to turn the co2 tide. exhaust gasses from the power station and oil and gas refinery travel along two different pipes. then different techniques are used to strip away the co2. the gas here is released back into the atmosphere. but at a fully working plant it will be stored underground. >> the benefits that we can take large amounts of production and store it in a safe manner, and we can take it out from the climate system. >> carbon capture is costly. but the international energy agency believes they can reduce global carbon emissions by 14%. essentially this testing facility is an industrial-sized laboratory. in reality several thousand fully operational carbon capture
1:41 pm
plants will be needed to tackle the co2 problem. >> some environmental campaigners believe too much weight is being placed on the potential of carbon capture. because it is still allows us to rely on fossil fuels. but sorters say it could be part of the solution. >> what we see is that the demand for energy is increasing so rapidly so it's impossible for the moment to supply all that energy with renewables. we need to bridge into the renewable future. that's why we need carbon capture for the next 30, 40 years. >> reporter: norway's fortunes are largely rooted in its huge oil and gas reserves. the countryside close by are likely to escape the worst effects of any climate change. what happens at this huge site could end up being both part of the problem and the solution. emma hayward, al jazeera.
