Carbon Capture and Storage Technology

Since the 1970s, technological solutions have emerged that enable faster removal, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.

Samantha McCulloch, who leads the CCS research division at the International Energy Agency (IEA), said, "There are various ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but the most common way is to capture it from large sources of emissions, such as fossil fuel power plants. After that, the carbon dioxide collected through pipelines or ships is transferred to the storage."

The process of CCS

1. Emissions gas from power plant enter absorption tower
2. Solvent absorbs the CO2, while other gases are released
3. Heat is used to separate the CO2 from the solvent
4. Solvent is recycled and the purified CO2 stored in bedrock
