CONCEPT
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)
Capture CO₂: Generally from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass
Compression & Transport: by pipeline, ship, rail or truck
Storage & Usage: Of applications, or injected into deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers
International Energy Agency's 4 sectors where the implementation of CCUS is urgent
i) Existing infrastructure
ii) Low carbon hydrogen production
iii) Heavy industry and aviation (most challenging industries)
iv) Decrease the density of CO₂ in the air
Internationally, its importance has been emphasized for the carbon neutrality and combating climate change.
Key ELEMENTS
Key ELEMENTS
Science, technology, and budget setups to the large-scale commercial infrastructures
Government: congressional decision and investment is required for scaling up.
Additional requirements
i) Labors: There should be laborers who operate and manage the infrastructure.
ii) Location: To store CO₂ safely, it is required to store it more than 800 meters below the sea or ground.
Effect
Effect
Briefly, as it involves capturing the carbon dioxide in the air, generated by fossil fuels, it can reduce CO₂ emission and its density in the air, and even creating new values by utilizing it. Detailed information will be in the further page.
