    The most effective carbon capture technology depends on the source and context, but amine-based absorption is currently the most mature and widely used for post-combustion at large fossil-fuel plants, while direct air capture is useful for removals but is energy-intensive and currently costlier at scale. Overall capture can exceed 90% for many CCUS setups when integrated with storage or utilization.
