What Is Carbon Management?

Carbon capture, removal, transport, reuse, and storage technologies— commonly referred to as carbon management—are a portfolio of safe, available, and increasingly cost-effective emissions reduction technologies used to manage, abate, and remove carbon oxides— carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon oxide (CO)—emissions from industrial facilities, power plants, and directly from the air (a practice known as direct air capture or DAC). Carbon oxides captured from industrial and power facilities or directly from the air is then reused to make valuable products or transported to appropriate sites for permanent geologic storage.
