Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a process used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. It works in three stages; the carbon dioxide produced by various industrial processes is first captured, then it is transported via pipelines, ships, or other vehicles to storage sites, and finally, it is transferred into subterranean rock formations where it can be safely stored and kept out of the atmosphere. CCS has the potential to reduce the polluting effects of a number of different industries which are heavily reliant on fossil fuels and therefore produce high levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
