Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies (CCST)

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies (CCST) are methods used to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial processes and power plants. The process captures CO₂ before it enters the atmosphere, then compresses and transports it to underground or undersea storage sites where it is securely stored, preventing its contribution to climate change. These technologies aim to make fossil fuel use cleaner and support the transition to a lower-carbon energy system while continuing existing energy infrastructure. They are considered a vital tool in mitigating global warming while balancing energy needs and safety.
