Techniques for capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CCS for Carbon Capture and Storage) is a means to reduce emissions from fossil fuels contributing to climate change. They are based on capturing CO2 from large emitters such as power plants (coal, gas, oil, etc..), Heavy industry and cement plants, and storage to prevent their release into the atmosphere. Today, the major agencies involved in global warming believe that the share of these technologies would be between 10 and 55% of the overall effort to reduce supply by 2100. The United States has fully understood this issue and invest significantly for several years, particularly through the Department of Energy, from basic research to development projects demonstrators sized industrial and commercial. To achieve the reduction goals, agencies and U.S. companies now aim to offer customers by 2015, hence the very short term, marketable technology solutions “turnkey”.
