The Critical Necessity for CCUS

Authors: Roger H. Bezdek

Abstract: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) encompasses a suite of technologies that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, predominantly by sequestering it underground. The importance of CCUS has been recognized globally since early applications began in the late 1970s and the 1980s as a critical solution to meeting greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Capturing CO2 is only a small part of the process. It also requires processing, transporting, and permitting and storage or utilization of the CO2 -- primarily for enhanced oil recovery.
