The Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Program

The Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Program is a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industries and power plants. It involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions before they escape into the atmosphere, then either using the CO₂ in processes like oil recovery or storing it underground in rock formations. This helps prevent climate change while allowing ongoing use of fossil fuels or industrial processes. Essentially, CCUS acts as a filter and storage system, reducing the environmental impact of carbon emissions and supporting a transition to cleaner energy practices.
