In the urgent global quest to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has emerged as a key technology with the potential to revolutionize our approach to managing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and energy-related sources. As the world faces the imperative of decarbonization, it is critical to understand the intricate workings and diverse applications of CCS.

The Global CCS Institute plays a crucial role in monitoring and promoting carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology around the world. They provide reports, databases and resources to track the status of CCS projects, provide information on the state of CCS technology and contribute to the development and deployment of CCS solutions.

STATE OF THE ART: CCS TECHNOLOGIES 2023 aims to provide a comprehensive overview of CCS, drawing on a series of real-world cases, both operational and under construction, that span the entire spectrum of the CCS value chain. From the initial capture of CO2 emissions to meticulous transportation, secure storage and overall governance, this report delves into the intricate details of these innovative initiatives, shedding light on their importance in the global battle against climate change. Through the exploration of these cases, we unveil the multifaceted aspects of CCS, ultimately demonstrating its transformative potential and the vital role it plays in our transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.
