Carbon capture and storage or carbon capture sequestration (CCS) aims to control emission of CO2 in large quantities, which can disrupt the environment. It captures the waste carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants and such large sources and deposits it where it will be prevented from entering into the elements. Carbon capture and sequestration market is witnessing remarkable investments. This rise in investments is mainly projected from the changing government regulations and advancing technology in the market. The CCS market is set to witness impressive growth in the next few years. This growth rate is expected to be driven by the rising demand from the commercial and industrial applications of these products. As a result, the industry is also witnessing great rise in investments and business expansions on global scale.
