Carbon capture<\/strong> is a process that involves trapping carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions from sources like power plants, industrial facilities, or even directly from the atmosphere, and preventing it from entering the atmosphere. This captured CO\u2082 can then be either stored underground (a process known as <\/span>carbon capture and storage<\/strong>, or CCS) or repurposed for various uses (referred to as <\/span>carbon capture, utilization, and storage<\/strong>, or CCUS)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. Capture<\/span>: CO\u2082 is separated from other gases produced during industrial processes or energy production. This can be done through chemical absorption, adsorption, or membrane filtration.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  2. Transport<\/strong>: Once captured, the CO\u2082 is compressed and transported, typically through pipelines, to a storage site.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  3. Storage\/Utilization<\/strong>: The captured CO\u2082 can either be
    • Stored<\/strong> in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers, where it is injected deep underground for long-term isolation.<\/li>
    • Utilized<\/strong> in various industrial processes, such as in the production of synthetic fuels, concrete, or other chemicals.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      2. Climate Change Mitigation<\/strong>: By capturing CO\u2082, it helps slow the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, playing a role in reducing global warming.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

      3. Support for Cleaner Energy Transition<\/strong>: Carbon capture allows continued use of fossil fuels in a cleaner way during the transition to renewable energy sources.<\/span><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Though carbon capture technology shows promise, it is currently costly and energy-intensive, and scaling it to make a significant impact on global emissions remains a challenge. Through our strategic partnerships we aim to overcome these challenges.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
