Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) plays a critical role in combating climate change by capturing CO2 from industrial emissions and storing it in underground geological formations. This process helps reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, protecting ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and supporting international climate goals. The document explores various CCS techniques, including post- and pre-combustion capture, as well as deep saline formation storage and depleted oil reservoir storage methods. Additionally, it covers the regulatory requirements, such as Class VI permits, essential for ensuring the safe and effective long-term storage of CO2.
