Environmental Science
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Technologies
Quick fact
The world's largest carbon capture facility, the Gorgon project in Australia, has a capacity to store up to 4 million tonnes of CO2 per year underground—equivalent to taking about 1 million cars off the road.
Why this is interesting
Every time you turn on a light from coal-fired electricity, CO2 billows out. But what if we could catch that CO2 before it reaches the sky—and even put it to use?
