Carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a combination of technologies designed to prevent the release of CO2 generated through conventional power generation and industrial production processes. The technologies employed by CCS, such as absorption, chemical looping, and membrane gas separation, work to capture and store CO2 emissions in underground storage sites to prevent their release into the atmosphere.

CCS impact is currently limited due to its small-scale implementation, but technology advancements are underway and its utilization is on the rise. Additionally, CCS can generate carbon credits that are tradeable for offsetting purposes.
