Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) a critical technology in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. CCS has the potential to play a key role in limiting global warming by capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions at their source and storing them underground to prevent their release into the atmosphere. Carbon Capture and Storage: Solutions for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions will explore the latest advancements in CCS technology, its role in reducing emissions, and the challenges and opportunities associated with its large-scale implementation. This involves three main steps: capture, where CO₂ is separated from other gases produced by industrial processes; transport, where captured CO₂ is compressed and transported, often through pipelines; and storage, where CO₂ is injected deep underground into geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline aquifers, or unmineable coal seams. The goal of CCS is to prevent CO₂ from reaching the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Advances in capture technologies are improving efficiency and reducing costs, making CCS more viable for industrial use.various capture methods, including post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and best-fit applications for different industries.
