Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Turning Emissions into Opportunity

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology for achieving net-zero emissions. By capturing CO₂ before it enters the atmosphere and storing it safely underground, industries can continue to produce — without polluting the planet.

How It Works

1. Capture

CO₂ is separated from industrial gases or directly from the air using advanced filtration and chemical processes.

2. Transport

The captured CO₂ is compressed and moved through pipelines or ships to storage locations.

3. Storage

The CO₂ is injected deep underground into geological formations where it remains permanently locked away.

Why It Matters

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identifies CCS as one of the most effective methods to reduce global emissions. Without it, many industries — like cement, steel, and energy — cannot reach climate targets.

CCS could reduce global CO₂ emissions by 20% by 2050
