i. The three main steps of carbon capture and storage (CCS)
|
First, we use special machines to catch the CO2 from other gases. It’s like sorting out different types of candies from a mixed bag. We want to grab the CO2, which is causing trouble, and keep it separate. |
|
Once we’ve caught the CO2, we need to take it to a safe place where it won’t harm the air. It’s like delivering a package to a specific location. We use pipes or other means to transport the captured CO2 to a storage spot. |
|
The final step is like finding a secure hiding place for something important. We take the captured CO2 and store it far away from the air. This storage location can be deep underground or even in the depths of the ocean, ensuring the CO2 is kept away from the atmosphere where it could cause problems. |
