Towards the International Standardization of Carbon Dioxide Capture, Transportation, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Technologies: Current Challenges and Future Directions.

Abstract

Climate change poses a serious threat to the development of the
current and future generations. Therefore, Carbon Dioxide
Capture, Transportation, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has
emerged as an essential tool to mitigate such impacts of global
warming along with other initiatives and strategic decisions such
as energy transition and conservation, sustainable practices
amongst others. This article is focused on the CCUS practices
and more specifically the peculiarities of CCUS vis-à-vis the
standardization rules at the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). The main question this article aims to
address is to determine if CCUS should have its own standing
technical committee (TC) or if it should be somehow related to
the existing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technical
committee.
