Abstract
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves capturing CO2, which is the process of separating CO2 from natural gas or flue (exhaust) gas, and then storing it so that it is not emitted to the atmosphere. The background for CCS is a concern that increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations will cause global climate changes, ocean acidification and a sea level rise, with dramatic negative consequences for large populations (IPCC 2007).
