Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) involves the capture of CO2, from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use fossil fuels. Captured CO2 can be used on site or transported to be used in a range of applications, or injected into deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
CCUS can be retrofitted to existing power and industrial plants, allowing for their continued operation. It can tackle emissions in sectors like heavy industries.
