Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) consists of the
capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants
and/or CO2-intensive industries such as refineries,
cement, iron and steel, its subsequent transport
to a storage site, and finally its injection into a
suitable underground geological formation for the
purposes of permanent storage. It is considered to
be one of the medium term 'bridging technologies'
in the portfolio of available mitigation actions for
stabilising concentrations of atmospheric CO2, the
main greenhouse gas (GHG).
