This paper examines carbon capture and storage (CCS) for carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from large sources such as fossil fuel power stations. It involves capturing CO2, transporting it and then storing it in secure geological formations deep underground such as depleted oil and gas fields and natural underground reservoirs. The authors detail the main CCS technologies and consider their safety and legal issues. This is followed by an overview of global CCS projects as well as a discussion of UK and EU policy.
