carbon dioxide injection

Carbon dioxide injection involves capturing CO₂ emissions from sources like power plants and then injecting the gas deep underground into rock formations. This process helps prevent CO₂ from entering the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas levels. The injected CO₂ is stored in porous rocks, where it can remain trapped for long periods. This method, known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), is used to limit climate change impacts while allowing continued use of fossil fuels or transitioning to cleaner energy sources. It's a key technology for reducing industrial carbon footprints and mitigating global warming.
