A weekly update on the latest “no-fluff” insight and analysis of the energy industry.
CCUS is highly effective in reducing emissions, capturing up to 90% of CO₂ from industrial sources and contributing significantly to net-zero emission goals by 2070. It is versatile, applicable to power plants, heavy industries and hydrogen production, and its impact is expected to grow as technology advances and costs decrease. Overall, CCUS is a crucial tool in global climate strategies.
CCUS technologies include post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion, direct air capture, and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. These methods capture CO₂ from various sources, such as power plants and industrial facilities, and are essential for reducing emissions and achieving climate targets.
CCUS helps mitigate climate change by reducing CO₂ emissions from industrial sources and power plants, supports the energy transition by allowing continued use of fossil fuels with minimized impact, creates economic opportunities, and enhances resource utilization through applications like enhanced oil recovery and chemical production.
CO₂ storage involves compressing captured CO₂ into a supercritical fluid for transport to storage sites, where it is injected deep underground into geological formations like depleted oil and gas fields or saline aquifers. The CO₂ is securely trapped through structural, residual, solubility, and mineral mechanisms, ensuring long-term containment and preventing it from escaping back into the atmosphere.
