Carbon Capture explained
Understanding Carbon Capture & Storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that can capture the vast majority of the carbon dioxide emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes, preventing carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
The CCS chain consists of three parts; capturing the carbon dioxide, transporting the carbon dioxide, and securely storing the carbon dioxide emissions underground, in depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifer formations.
