Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants and stores it underground to prevent it entering the atmosphere.

It is a key technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Capture, Transport and Storage

CO2 can be captured before combustion, after combustion, or in oxy-fuel processes using solvents like amines. The captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, then injected into deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers.

CCS allows continued use of fossil fuels with much lower emissions and can be combined with bioenergy for negative emissions.

Important Points to Remember

  • Captures CO2 emissions before they reach the atmosphere.
  • Capture methods: pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel.
  • Amine solvents commonly absorb the CO2.
  • Compressed CO2 transported by pipeline.
  • Stored in deep geological formations.
  • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

CCS is a technology that captures CO2 emissions from sources like power plants and stores it underground to keep it out of the atmosphere.

The main methods are pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture, and oxy-fuel combustion capture.

Captured CO2 is stored in deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers.
