Carbon Capture and Storage
A decarbonization pathway in which carbon dioxide is separated at the emission source, compressed, and injected into deep saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs for long-term storage. It places extremely high demands on geological conditions, pipeline networks, and long-term monitoring.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the separation, compression and injection of CO₂ into underground saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs at the emission end.
Immature technological pathways such as negative emissions technologies and carbon capture and storage (CCS) have repeatedly been used as justifications for delaying emissions reduction actions
