Carbon Capture and Utilization
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is a technology designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from sources like power plants and industrial processes. Once captured, the CO2 can be stored underground or repurposed for various applications, helping to mitigate climate change.
The utilization aspect involves converting captured CO2 into useful products, such as fuels, chemicals, or building materials. This not only helps reduce the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere but also creates economic opportunities by turning waste into valuable resources.
