carbon capture and storage  

Definición

  • Carbon capture is the technique of separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, especially fossil fuel-based power plants and large, energy-consuming industries such as oil refining and chemical, cement, iron, and steel production. After being captured, the CO2 needs to be transported and stored securely for hundreds and even thousands of years to prevent it from reaching the atmosphere.
