Carbon capture, use, and storage technologies are thought to have the potential to capture more than 90 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.

Captured carbon dioxide can be put to productive use in enhanced oil recovery and the manufacture of fuels, building materials, and more, or be stored in underground geologic formations.

Almost two dozen commercial-scale carbon capture projects are operating around the world with 22 more in development.

Carbon capture can achieve 14 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions reductions needed by 2050 and is viewed as the only practical way to achieve deep decarbonization in the industrial sector.
