Carbon Storage Technology

Carbon storage technology involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from sources like power plants and industrial processes, then securely storing it underground to prevent its release into the atmosphere. This process helps reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change. The captured CO₂ is compressed and transported through pipelines to underground rock formations, such as depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers, where it is injected and stored safely for long periods. This technology is a key tool in efforts to lower global carbon emissions and transition to a more sustainable energy system.
