CCU or CCS? CCUS may be the answer
05 June 2018
CO2 Capture and utilization (CCU) is of often presented as an alternative to CO2 Capture and storage (CCS). In general lines, the concept of CCU is indeed more appealing: instead of burying CO2 underground –, CO2 can be used as a raw material. Valuable products such as plastics and fuels can be derived from CO2, in a circular manner, as a replacement for fossil fuels. Following this line of thinking, CCU appears to be the silver lining in the climate change cloud.
