By applying life-cycle analysis to calculate …
Carbon capture and storage | Shell Global
Carbon capture and storage, or CCS, is a combination of technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide deep underground, preventing its release into the atmosphere. At Shell, we believe that CCS will be essential for helping society to achieve net-zero emissions. Our ambition is to work with governments, customers, and partners to unlock the potential for CCS around …
Moving toward Net Zero Carbon Buildings to Face Global …
The carbon storage in timber, for example, can offset the temporary reduction in the forest carbon stocks, which can regrow, restarting carbon absorption. Thus, buildings can act as a forest inside the city, with a carbon density that grows when building density intensifies, as long as wood is sourced from controlled producers [123,124].

What is carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS)? CCUS refers to a suite of technologies that enable the mitigation of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from large point sources such as power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities, or the removal of existing CO 2 from the atmosphere.. CCUS is expected to play a crucial role in meeting global climate targets.
