Carbon storage and utilization

Carbon storage and utilization is a process that involves the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or industrial processes and its storage or use in other applications.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

CCS is a technology that involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial processes and storing them underground.

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU)

CCU involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions and using them to produce useful products such as fuels, chemicals, and building materials.

• One example of CCU is the production of methanol, which can be used as a fuel or a feedstock for the production of chemicals.
• Carbon dioxide can also be used in the production of building materials such as concrete, which can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry.
• Another example of CCU is the production of biofuels from algae, which can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce fuels that can replace fossil fuels.

Carbon storage and utilization technologies have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. However, these technologies are still in the early stages of development and face a number of technical and economic challenges. There is also some concern about the potential environmental impacts of large-scale carbon storage and utilization projects, such as the risk of leaks and the impact on local ecosystems. Nevertheless, carbon storage and utilization remains an important area of research and development in the field of climate engineering.
