Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) is the process by which carbon dioxide (CO₂) is extracted from a stream before the stream is released to atmosphere, and then transported to either a long-term storage location or used in a stable product.^[1]

CCUS is different from Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). CDR is the process by which CO₂ is directly extracted from air and isolated from the atmosphere in geological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs.^[1]
