Approach
➡️ Introduction: Define CCUS, mention its basic purpose and relevance to net-zero goals.
➡️ Part 1: Explain CCUS
➡️ Capture: Separation of CO₂ from industrial emissions
➡️ Transport: Movement of compressed CO₂
➡️ Utilization: Productive use of captured CO₂
➡️ Storage: Long-term underground storage
➡️ Part 2: Role in tackling climate change
➡️ Hard-to-abate sectors: Cement, steel, fertilisers
➡️ Existing fossil infrastructure: Reduce emissions without abrupt shutdowns
➡️ Negative emissions: BECCS and other carbon-removal pathways
➡️ Paris Agreement: Reduce cumulative CO₂ emissions
➡️ Circular economy: CO₂-based fuels, chemicals and building materials
➡️ Energy security: Support decarbonisation while managing fossil-fuel dependence
➡️ Conclusion: Present CCUS as a complementary technology, not a substitute for renewables and energy efficiency. Emphasise cost reduction, safe storage and strong monitoring.
