Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

CCUS involves the capture of CO2, generally from large point sources such as power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass as fuel. If not being used on-site, the captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or truck to be used in a range of applications, or injected into deep geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers. In other words CCUS is a broad term that covers both CCU and CCS, where CO2 can be either used or stored.
