Overview

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process that separates CO2 from industrial installations or natural sources, transports it to a storage location, and stores it in deep geological formations. Around 80% of captured CO2 is used for enhanced oil recovery, a process that injects CO2 into partially depleted oil reservoirs to extract more oil. CCS has been discussed as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions since the 1980s, with companies like [[exxonmobil|ExxonMobil]] and [[shell|Shell]] investing in CCS technologies.
