Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
What is Carbon Capture & Storage?
Carbon Capture and Storage is a mitigation technology essential in tackling global climate change, and ensuring a secure energy supply.
CCS technology captures carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power stations.
The CO₂ is then transported via pipelines and stored safely offshore in deep underground structures such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and deep saline aquifers.
Update: 03 April 2012
