Hydrogen Production Factsheet

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage:

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) [25] refers to a suite of technologies that can play an important and diverse role in meeting global energy and climate goals. CCUS involves the capture of CO2 from large point sources, including power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass for fuel including the SMR or ATR hydrogen production facilities discussed above.

The CO2 can also be captured directly from the atmosphere; this may be called Direct Air Capture (DAC) [26], or Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) [27]. The captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or truck to be used in a range of applications or injected into deep geological formations (including depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline formations) which trap the CO2 for permanent storage.
