The question was originally phrased by the source as: "Carbon capture and storage is a technology that stops greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. It typically involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power stations or industrial facilities where emissions are high. The CO2 is then piped to offshore underground storage sites, where it can be safely and permanently stored. Before today, how much, if anything, did you know about carbon capture and storage?"
