CCS, or Carbon Capture and Storage, is a technology designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), from industrial processes and power generation. It involves capturing CO2 produced during these activities, transporting it, and then storing it underground in geological formations to prevent it from entering the atmosphere.
The process typically includes three main steps: capturing the CO2 at the source, compressing and transporting it to a storage site, and injecting it deep underground into rock formations. CCS is considered a crucial strategy in combating climate change and achieving net-zero emissions goals.
