Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

« Back to Glossary Index

CCS is a process in which a relatively pure stream of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial and energy-related sources is separated (captured), conditioned, compressed, and transported to a storage location for long-term isolation from the atmosphere. Sometimes referred to as carbon dioxide capture and storage, or carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
