Among the various approaches to mitigate carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality, the concept of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has seen renewed interest in recent years (Figure 1).¹

The core idea behind CCUS is to capture carbon dioxide before it is released into the atmosphere and either utilize it in industrial processes or store it safely underground. With increasing awareness of climate change and rising industrial emissions, scientists and policymakers around the world are investing more attention and resources into supporting CCUS projects.
