Carbon Capture and Storage in Europe

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an important component of national, European and global strategies to tackle climate change. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by capturing the CO2 generated by large point sources before it is released to the atmosphere, and then transporting it to a secure underground storage facility.
