Understanding CCS
Carbon Capture and Sequestration, also known as CCS, is a solution offered in particular to industries that emit a lot of CO2 to reduce their carbon footprint.
Alex and Liam are two reporters who are always ready to go out into the field to investigate and meet people. Alex is enthusiastic and curious... Liam a little less so, but he likes to follow Alex on her travels!

It's nice for once to have the time to relax at the café!
Wait, it might not last…
Hello, I don't know if you've noticed, but the planet is warming up. The industry is seeking as many solutions as possible to prevent this, and among them: CCS.
It's cutting-edge technology; I'd love for you to write a good article about it. I've heard that Air Liquide is fully committed to this tech, but I'll let you investigate. Go for it!
Good luck. And of course, I’m looking forward to your piece.
Are you familiar with CCS?
What is CCS?
Capture of the CO2 in industrial fumes before it is released into the atmosphere
For industries that do not have alternative processes (hard-to-abate)
The steps:
- Capture
- Compression
- Transportation
- Liquefaction
- Utilization (CCU) or underground sequestration (CCS)
Air Liquide's scope of action: from capture to utilization
CCS is an effective technology
- Quick to implement
- Ready for deployment
- Helps reduce the carbon footprint of industry
That's great, Liam, we now know the basics, but it's not enough for our article…
We'll have to meet with an expert!
A growing technology
- Relatively new market which is expected to take off from 2030 onwards
- Possible fluctuations depending on carbon taxation
- 15 projects in Europe
- Air Liquide decarbonizes its own assets as well as those of its customers
Over 15 years of experience, CryocapTM technology developed by Air Liquide
- Porthos project: transforming the port of Rotterdam into a sustainable, low-emission zone
- Air Liquide's role: capturing carbon emitted by the Air Liquide plant
Wow! Cryocap technologies…
We're finally going to uncover the secret of CCS!
Right…
If we really have to…
Captures up to 98% of CO2 emissions
- CRYOCAPTM FG for industrial fumes
- CRYOCAPTM OXY for oxy-combustion fumes, that are richer in CO2
- CRYOCAPTM H2 for hydrogen production units
Great! I now understand how CCS works!
All there’s left to do is to type up the article.
