Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that contributes to harmful climate change. Many industrial processes burn natural gas as their energy source, producing a large amount of CO2, which is currently released into the atmosphere.
CCS is a proven and safe technology which captures up to 95% of CO2 emissions produced in industrial processes. Once captured, CO2 can be safely transported through a pipeline from industrial plants to empty offshore oil and gas reservoirs under the seabed, where it will be permanently and safely stored and so prevented from being released into the atmosphere.
