Carbon capture, utilization, and storage

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage ( CCUS / CCS / CCU ) has been giving fossil fuel emitters the veneer of sustainability for half a century. But despite the fanfare around such projects, they do very little actual carbon capture (some CCUS facilities capture less than half of the carbon they’re meant to trap). Instead, these facilities capture public funding and misdirect energy that could be used to propel us towards a just transition away from fossil fuels.
