Roughly one third of the United States' carbon emissions comes from power plants and other large point sources. To stabilize and ultimately reduce concentrations of this greenhouse gas, it is necessary to employ carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. CCS is the process by which CO2 is isolated from the emissions stream, compressed, and transported to an injection site where it is stored underground permanently.
