Why Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) matters
Reaching net zero will require a range of solutions.
For some industries—including steel, chemicals, power and other energy-intensive activities—some emissions are difficult or costly to eliminate, including emissions that arise from the production process itself.
CCS provides another pathway. CO₂ is captured before it enters the atmosphere, transported to a suitable storage site and permanently stored deep underground.
CCS complements renewable energy, electrification, energy efficiency and other technologies by addressing emissions that remain. In doing so, it can support orderly industrial decarbonisation while helping maintain industrial capability, competitiveness and resilient supply chains.
dCS is focused on making offshore CO₂ storage more accessible to industries located too far from suitable storage sites to connect by pipeline.
