Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) refers to a carbon reduction technology that captures the carbon dioxide emitted from, for example, coal power plant and makes use of it or stores it, preventing it from releasing into the atmosphere. 

Nowadays, there are three types of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies which help lower the greenhouse gas emissions from thermal power plants and factories. They are pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxyfuel CCS technologies.

Fossil fuels are now the most stable and inexpensive energy resources after all. However, we could buy time for exploiting clean energy through adoption of CCS technologies.
