Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is either the key to decarbonising the global energy system or a smokescreen to allow utilities to continue to build polluting coal-fired power stations- depending on your point of view.rnThe aim of CCS is to reduce the carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants and other heavily emitting installations such as steelworks and cement factories and it involves three elements-capturing the carbon, transporting it and storing it. Although there are no full-size CCS plants in operation, all of the technology necessary already exists - it has just not been put together to create CCS.
