Carbon Capture and Storage
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology reroutes climate-warming CO2 emissions away from smokestacks. Instead, this carbon is stored deep underground in geological formations like used oil reservoirs or saline aquifers, where its warming impact is neutralized. CO2 is compressed to supercritical fluid levels before injecting it into porous rock formations, where it can either physically…
