January 2024. Carbon Capture is the process of capturing Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) produced by industrial processes, preventing its release into the atmosphere. The primary goal of carbon capture is to reduce carbon emissions, because carbon dioxide is the primary Greenhouse Gas (GHG) contributing to climate change. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), also known as (CCS), refers to a suite of technologies that perform carbon capture. CCUS involves four stages: capture, transport, storage, and use. CCUS technologies include Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), carbon sequestration, Direct Air Capture (DAC), and carbon absorption by Ammonia. Policy wise, growing recognition of CCUS role in meeting net zero goals is translating into increased policy support for CCUS deployment. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have outlined an important role for CCUS to reach net zero emissions by 2050, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal SDG13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, technologies, benefits, challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of carbon capture. Discover how CCUS technologies can reduce global carbon emissions by up to 90% to accelerate the clean energy transition and meet net zero emission goals by 2050.
