CCS IN JAPAN AND TAIWAN By Shin-Nan Yang

WHAT IS CCS Carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and storage Using fossil fuel means burning them, which generate CO 2. As a result, CO 2 has increased in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. CCS seeks to capture the CO 2, transport it to sites suitable for geological sequestration, and store it underground. CCS is a key weapon in the battle against global warming.

CCS AS A KEY WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING Capturing the CO 2 from power plants and factories before it released into the atmosphere and storing it underground In terms of technology, CCS is broadly divided into three stages. Capture, Transport, Injection, and Storage Each of these stages can be accomplished with existing technology. However, further technical advances are needed for large-scale application, improved efficiency, and total system optimization.
