Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)
CCUS is considered one of the essential environmental technologies in Oil Sands and can also be applied across other energy industries. The application consists of carbon dioxide captured from fuel gas (or other industrial processes), CO2 transportation via pipeline or ships, and the application of CO2 to develop products, industrial processes, and services. The CO2 can also be permanently stored underground to reduce GHG emissions. CCUS is a way of generating “negative emissions” when CO2 is directly extracted from the atmosphere or through bio-based processes.
