GENERAL STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND
Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) is a proc-

traced to the early 1970s, when captured carbon dioxide was first
injected into oil fields to improve oil recovery.1 Since then, the proc-
ess of capturing and storing carbon dioxide has become a proven
type of technology used around the world. Seventeen large-scale
CCUS projects are in operation globally, nine of which are located
