Carbon capture and storage (CCS) reduces the operational GHG emissions from fossil fuel power plants by selectively capturing CO₂ from the plant’s exhaust flue, preventing it from entering the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that reduces GHG emissions from fossil fuel-powered electricity generation facilities by selectively capturing CO₂ from the power plant’s exhaust flue, preventing it from entering the atmosphere. CCS can also be applied to capture CO₂ from other industrial facilities that generate emissions from fuel combustion or production processes, like cement or ethanol production plants, or from biomass energy power plants. While CCS can reduce the operational CO₂ emissions from fossil-fueled power plants, large-scale deployment of this technology will likely drive continued production and use of coal and gas.

# What is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)? Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS, is a suite of technologies that captures CO2 from exhaust gases or the atmosphere. To tackle this, scientists and engineers have developed a suite of technologies known as **Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)**. Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS (also called CCUS – carbon capture, utilisation and storage), is a suite of proven technologies that help us capture CO2 from industrial exhaust gases or directly from the atmosphere. A diagram showing how Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) works. Geological Carbon Storage is the process of storing CO2 permanently in porous rock at least 800m underground. * **It enables negative emissions** – When combined with bioenergy, waste-to-energy or direct air capture, these technologies can remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than they emit. According to the Global CCS Institute, as of October 2025, 77 commercial carbon capture and storage projects were operating, capturing 64 million tons of CO2 per annum.

Policies like the EU's Net Zero Industry Act, the 45Q tax credit in the U.S. and Denmark's CCUS Fund, as well as emerging regulation in Indonesia, are all helping to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS). Today CCUS captures around 0.1% of global emissions — around 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). CCUS is one of many ways to reduce emissions and plays a different role from carbon removal in long-term and net-zero climate plans developed by countries or companies. IPCC scenarios show a wide range of potential deployment of carbon capture technology: CCUS applied to fossil fuels reduces CO2 emissions by 0-5 GtCO2 by 2030 with a median of 1 GtCO2. Companies using or planning to use CCUS at their facilities should adhere to relevant regulatory frameworks; monitor and report the environmental impacts of the technology; engage with local communities; and commit to project agreements, including community benefits agreements.
