Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies involve the capture of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO₂ via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage underground.
