[[CCUS]] involves the following steps<ref>https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2017-0023/</ref>:
			* '''Capturing''' CO<sub>2</sub> from power plants or industrial processes using a chemical reaction. Once captured, CO<sub>2</sub> is then compressed into a liquid state for transportation.
			* '''Transporting''' the CO<sub>2</sub> (via pipelines or ships) to deep geological storage points, such as depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers.
			* '''Storing''' the CO<sub>2</sub> in these sites permanently.
			* '''Utilisation'''. As an alternative to storage, this involves the use of CO<sub>2</sub> in industrial processes.

[[Carbon Capture Usage and Storage]] ([[CCUS]]), also referred to without the 'usage' part of the acronym [[CCS]] (Carbon Capture Storage), has become of increasing interest in the UK waste sector due to the carbon emitted by [[Energy from Waste]] ([[EfW]]) facilities, and specifically larger plants focused on Municipal Solid Waste ([[MSW]]) (many of the plants listed as [[Residual EfW]] in WikiWaste).

The [[Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy]] ([[BEIS]]) announced its approach to carbon capture in October 2017, creating a task force and development pathway action plan through 2018 and 2019<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-carbon-capture-and-storage-government-funding-and-support GOV.UK Guidance - Accessed November 2021]</ref>.

==Reports in October 2021==
In October 2021 two reports were published regarding the application of [[CCUS]] to [[EfW]] facilities:
* [[Zero Waste Europe]] ''''''CCS for Incinerators? An expensive distraction to a circular economy'''''' <ref>[https://zerowasteeurope.eu/library/ccs-for-incinerators-an-expensive-distraction-to-a-circular-economy/ Link to Zero Waste Europe Website for Download of Report]</ref>

The reports both refer to carbon emissions from [[EfW]] plants as being approximately 1 tonne of CO<sub>2</sub> emitted for 1 tonne of [[MSW]] processed. Whilst [[Eunomia]] set out the potential for reducing emissions from [[EfW]] in their report at a cost of between £66 and £110 per tonne processed, centred on the [[BEIS]] 'decarbonisation clusters', the [[Zero Waste Europe]] report suggests these costs will be higher and that the push towards [[CCS]] for [[EfW]] plants distract from managing waste further up the [[Waste Hierarchy | waste hierarchy]].
