Ubuhinga bwo gufata umwuka w’ikibi bukoreshwa mu gukura umwuka w’ikibi mu migende ya gazi canke ukawutandukanya nk’ikintu gifise umwuka w’ikibi. Gufata ni intambwe ya mbere mu buhinga bwo gufata no kubika umuyagankuba (CCS). Carbone dioxide ikeneye kuba iriho mu buryo busukuye cane mu gihe co gutwara no kubika, ariko kenshi na kenshi, ivyiyumviro vy’ivyo bidukikije biri mu bidukikije biva mu nganda ntibihuye n’ico gisabwa. Ku bw’ivyo, umwuka w’ikirere utegerezwa gutandukanywa n’umuyaga usohoka; iyo nzira yitwa gufata umwuka w’ikirere. Ubuhinga bwo gufata umwuka w’ikirere bushobora guca mu mice myinshi, harimwo gufata umwuka w’ikirere, gufata umwuka w’umubiri, gufata umwuka w’umubiri, ugutandukanya utugingo ngengabuzima, n’ugutandukanya umuyaga w’umubiri. Guhitamwo uburyo bwo gufata n’ibikoresho bivana n’ibiranga nyavyo n’imirongo ngenderwako y’isoko y’umuyaga w’ikirere.
Uburyo bwo gufata umuyagankuba bwamaze imyaka mirongo bukoreshwa mu bikorwa vy’amavuta ya peteroli, ivy’imiti be n’ivy’amashanyarazi. Gukoresha ubuhinga bwo muri iki gihe kugira ngo umuntu afate vyose canke bitatu-ibice vya kane vy’umuyaga w’ikirere mu ruganda rw’amashanyarazi rusanzwe bisaba ibikoresho vy’ubunini bwinshi kuruta ibikoresho bisanzwe-uburyo buzimvye-, bukoresha inguvu nyinshi-.
