Problem and its background
CO2 capture and storage (CCS) involves capturing large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) from thermal power plants or other industrial facilities and storing it underground for a long-term period of time. CCS is the technology to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere, and it is gaining attention as a prominent measure to mitigate climate change.
An Overview of CCS (Source: GCCSI)
While each underlying technology behind CO2 capture, transport, and injection has long been used in other industries, CCS ? which integrates these technologies in an effort to combat climate change ? is recognized as a new technology and has not yet demonstrated enough. In addition to R&D in individual elements of the technology, CCS demonstration projects that integrate all processes from CO2 capture to storage are also planned and implemented at various locations. At the same time, a social environment for CCS implementation, including a regulatory framework, public acceptance and economic efficiency, is being developed all over the world.
