CCUS, carbon capture, ulitilization and storage
Capturing, transporting, and storing carbon dioxide is expected to play a key role in the climate transition. We are involved in several projects across the country to help build the infrastructure needed to make it happen.
What is CCUS
CCUS stands for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage – a technology that captures carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources and power plants. The purpose is to prevent CO₂ from being released into the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change.
The process involves three main steps: capturing, transporting, and either storing or using the carbon dioxide. CO₂ can be captured directly at the source of emissions or from the atmosphere. Once captured, it is transported to a storage site, often via an interim hub before final delivery. The final storage is typically in geological formations deep underground, such as depleted oil or gas fields. CO₂ can also be put to use – as a raw material in fuels or new products. CCUS is a key technology for reaching climate targets, especially in sectors where cutting emissions is particularly challenging.
