Habshan CCUS Process – 5 Million Tons Of CO2 – Habshan
- The Habshan Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project ranks among the largest carbon capture initiatives in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with a capacity to capture and store 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually within geological structures located deep underground.
- Capture: CO2 separation from industrial emissions or directly from the atmosphere at major facilities like steel mills, cement plants, and power plants.
- Compress: Once captured, CO2 undergoes compression to facilitate transport.
- Transport: Compressed CO2 is transported via pipelines away from the source facility.
- Store: Deep underground storage beneath impermeable rock layers to prevent CO2 release into the atmosphere or seafloor.
