Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) refers to a set of technologies and processes aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon Capture involves capturing CO2 emissions from various industrial sources, such as power plants and factories, before they are released into the atmosphere. This is typically achieved through technologies like solvent-based chemical absorption, membrane separation, or solid adsorption. The captured CO2 can then be transported for further processing or geological storage. Utilization refers to finding beneficial uses for the captured CO2. Instead of simply storing it, the CO2 can be utilized in various applications, such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) (where CO2 is injected into oil reservoirs to enhance oil production), manufacturing processes, or the production of synthetic fuels and chemicals. Storage, also known as sequestration, involves the permanent storage of captured CO2 deep underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas fields, saline aquifers, or unmineable coal seams. This prevents the CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. CCUS technologies have the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and help transition to a low-carbon economy. They can be particularly useful in sectors where direct emissions reduction is challenging, such as heavy industries like cement and steel production or certain types of power generation.  By capturing and storing CO2 emissions, CCUS can contribute to achieving the climate targets set forth by the Paris Accords. When used at power generating facilities like coal and gas plants, CCUS makes coal and gas power generation carbon-neutral.  CCUS is increasingly relied upon by countries such as the United States, Norway, Denmark, Canada, and the UK as a viable pathway to meeting their emissions goals.
