Carbon Capture and Storage: Innovation in the Climate Crisis
12 Mar, 2025 12:13 PM
CCS involves a multi-step process to prevent CO₂ emissions from entering the atmosphere. The initial step is the capture phase, where CO₂ is separated from other gases generated during industrial activities, such as those in power plants or factories.
