Carbon Capture, Utilization And Storage (CCUS) Update

What is CCUS?

The International Energy Agency (IEA) defines Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) as a group of technologies for capturing of CO2 from large and stationary CO2 emitting sources, such as fossil fuel-based power plants and other industries. CCUS also involves the transport of the captured CO2 (typically by pipeline and in certain situations through shipping, rail or trucks also) to sites, either for utilization in different applications or injection into geological formations or depleted oil & gas fields for permanent storage and trapping of the CO2.
