Hiilisuodatus

Hiilisuodatus, also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a technology designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and industrial processes. The process involves three main stages: capture, transport, and storage. During the capture stage, CO2 is separated from other gases produced by the power plant or industrial process. This can be done using various methods, such as post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, or oxy-fuel combustion. In the transport stage, the captured CO2 is compressed and transported to a storage site, often via pipelines or ships. Finally, in the storage stage, the CO2 is injected into underground geological formations, such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or deep saline aquifers. These formations have the capacity to store large volumes of CO2 safely and permanently. Hiilisuodatus is considered a key technology in the fight against climate change, as it allows for the continued use of fossil fuels while reducing their environmental impact. However, it is important to note that the technology is still in development and faces challenges related to cost, energy efficiency, and public acceptance.
