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.
Carbon capture and sequestration is included in the definition of “clean energy research” that may be supported by Massachusetts Alternative and Clean Energy Investment Trust Fund.

Requires that a certain portion of electricity supplied by utilities be low or no-emission electricity to the extent it is cost effective, including via carbon capture and storage.
