Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) Technologies

CCUS is a suite of technologies designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large point sources, such as power plants and factories, to prevent them from entering the atmosphere.

The Concept

  • CCUS involves a three-step process of capturing CO2, transporting it, and either using it as a raw material for industrial products or storing it permanently in underground geological formations.

How the Technologies Work

  • Capture: There are three main methods:
    • Post-combustion: CO2 is separated from flue gases after the fuel is burnt using chemical solvents (amines).
    • Pre-combustion: The fuel is turned into a gas mixture (hydrogen and CO2) before burning; the ....
