> What is Carbon Capture and Storage? An Overview
An Overview
Carbon Capture and Storage, typically referred to as CCS, is a process designed to:
- Capture carbon dioxide CO2 emissions from large industrial facilities such as coal, oil and gas facilities and other industrial operations before the CO2 is emitted to the atmosphere,
- Transport the CO2 through pipelines, and
- Permanently store the CO2 in deep, secure underground formations.
An integrated Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) system would combine these features to provide for safe reduction of industrial CO2 emissions. The technology for each of these elements exists today and initial international and domestic CCS demonstration projects have been completed. They confirm the potential for large scale CCS implementation.
