Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the technological process of capturing carbon dioxide from a power plant or industrial activity and the storage of that captured carbon dioxide in an underground basalt formation, saline aquifer, depleted oil and gas reservoir, or sub-sea geologic formation.
