Glossary

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) sometimes referred to as carbon capture and sequestration:

The long-term isolation of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through physical, chemical, biological, or engineered processes.

CO2 capture:

The separation and concentration of CO2 from multicomponent gas streams.

CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR):

Injection of CO2 into depleted oil fields for the purpose of increasing oil production. Depending on geologic formations, this can result in long-term storage of CO2.

Geologic storage:

The long-term physical or chemical storage of CO2 in deep geological formations to isolate it indefinitely from the atmosphere.

Oxyfired combustion:

The burning of a hydrocarbon fuel (coal, oil, gas, biofuel) in an oxygen-rich or pure oxygen environment for generating high-concentration CO2 in flue gas.

Precombustion capture:

Separation of CO2from multicomponent gas streams that are the products of fuel conversion (e.g., gasification, methanation, or...
