Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the process of removing or reducing the CO2
content of streams normally released to the atmosphere and transporting that
captured CO2 to a location for permanent storage. CCS can be applied to a wide
range of large single-point sources, such as process streams, heater and boiler
exhausts, and vents from a range of high CO2 footprint industries, including power
generation, refining, natural gas treating, chemicals, cement production and steel
production. There are three main classifications of technologies employed:
Pre-combustion capture
Post-combustion capture
Oxyfuel combustion capture.
Once captured, the CO2 is compressed, dried and transported to a suitable storage
location such as a saline aquifer, depleted oil field (where enhanced oil recovery
could be employed) or depleted gas field.
