Carbon Capture Storage (CCS)

CCS captures and stores carbon dioxide emissions to prevent them from entering the atmosphere, helping industries reduce their climate impact.

How CCS Works

CO₂ is captured from power plants, factories, or directly from the air. It is then compressed and transported to underground storage sites like depleted oil fields or deep saline aquifers.

Benefits of CCS

CCS allows emission-intensive industries to lower their carbon footprint where alternative solutions are limited. It can also support negative emissions when combined with bioenergy.

Challenges & the Future

High costs and efficiency improvements remain key challenges. Expanding CCS deployment requires better infrastructure and policies to make storage sites more viable and cost-effective.
