(GIST OF SCIENCE REPORTER) Carbon Capture and Sequestration

[JUNE-2022]

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) are technologies that have the capability of reducing carbon dioxide from different industrial processes such as coal-plants, other power plants and other carbon dioxide sources. CCS works in three steps. In the first step, carbon dioxide is captured from its different sources.
The second step involves the transport of the carbon dioxide gas from the capture point to rocks and other destinations. In the third step, this carbon dioxide is subjected to underground injection and geological sequestration or permanent storage in the porous rocks.
