Coal

Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), also referred to as carbon capture, utilization and sequestration, is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like coal-fired power plants
