Illustration of CCS: CO2 is captured from a coal power plant and stored in a suitable storage location. Infrastructure is required to link CO2 emission sources with possible storage sites. Several CO2 sources and storage sites could be included in a common infrastructure. In a CO2 value chain CO2 could also be injected into oil and gas fields to enhance the oil and gas production (EOR and EGR)
