Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) refers to a suite of technologies that will play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions. CCUS technology captures CO2 directly at source or from the air and then either turns it into useful products, via hydrogen energy or locks it away for future use. Many and varied CCUS technologies are available, we ask how these can be deployed to create a sustainable energy system.
