🧪 Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS): A Key to a Low-Carbon Future<br />Eng. Nourhan Thamer Assi.<br /><br />🎯 Related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):<br />✅ SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy<br />✅ SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure<br />✅SDG 13: Climate Action<br />CCUS is an advanced technology designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial sources and power plants. The process involves three main stages:<br />Capture: CO₂ is collected before it enters the atmosphere.<br />Utilization: The captured CO₂ is repurposed in industrial processes, such as synthetic fuel or chemical production.<br />Storage: CO₂ is stored deep underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas fields.<br />CCUS is a strategic tool that enables continued industrial activity while minimizing environmental impact. It also allows for innovative use of emissions, rather than simply discarding them, promoting circular carbon solutions.<br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University The First University in Iraq<br /><br /><br />
