Main applications: concentrated CO2 emissions
Carbon Dioxide Capture and Geologic Storage (CCS)

CO₂ capture is envisaged for stationary sources emitting significant quantities of CO₂ . This is notably the case for power plants operating on coal or natural gas, iron and steel plants, cement plants, refineries. In addition, a number of industrial facilities emit pure CO₂. These are prime targets for the recovery and geological storage of emitted CO₂. These include, in particular, ammonia and ethylene oxide production units, as well as certain hydrogen production units.

Worldwide, around 3,200 industrial sources each emit more than one million tonnes of CO₂ per year (figure
