The Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage Technologies Market was valued at USD 3.4 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 9.6 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 23.10%. Carbon dioxide sequestration involves capturing carbon dioxide through chemical reactions (utilization) or underground storage in deep geologic storage and saline formations. This entire process, starting from capturing CO2 to its permanent storage or storage for future use, is termed carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Industries, including manufacturing and processing, are the foundation for every nation's economic growth. Thus, they are the core of the global efforts towards clean energy transition. Industrial emissions from both process- and energy-intensive activities are often difficult to tackle. Therefore, a comprehensive carbon reduction strategy is necessary to support the transition towards carbon neutrality and a sustainable future. CCUS technologies offer a significant solution to mitigate these emissions and support the decarbonization of heavy industries.

Developed countries with high industrialization growth generate the majority of GHG emissions. This has created a significant carbon debt that needs to be addressed. The rapid economic growth in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East and African (MEA) regions have led to a surge in their carbon emissions. This is primarily due to increased industrial activity, often relying on fossil fuels, growing energy demand for both industrial and residential purposes, and deforestation and unsustainable land-use practices. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development, three countries - China, the U.S., and India - account for more than 50% of carbon dioxide emissions, and 20 countries account for 80% of the global emissions.

Executive Summary

CO2 sequestration can be defined as the segregation of CO2, either chemically, as in chemical utilization, or physically, as in geologic storage. The integrated process from capture to sequestration is defined as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). For both the power sector and industry, carbon capture is the only large-scale option available to reduce emissions at relatively low cost while preserving the value of fossil fuel reserves and existing infrastructures. For CCUS to contribute significantly to the mitigation of CO2 emissions, it would be necessary to implement thousands of large-scale CCUS projects worldwide over the coming decades, which would require a joint and dedicated effort from industry and policymakers.

National demonstration programs are an essential driver of the development of new technologies. In terms of the number of large demonstration projects, the leading countries are the U.S., U.K. and China, where numerous projects have been reported. In other countries, such as Australia, and European countries, a number of ambitious projects have been developed in the past years but have been since cancelled or face serious delays.

According to IEA, in the past ten years, around $15 billion capital has been invested in the 15 large-scale CCUS projects that have been commissioned as well as the Kemper County CCUS facility, which was abandoned in 2017. This capital investment was supported by approximately $2.8 billion in public grant funding. Moreover, in 2020, governments of different countries along with related industries have announced to invest more than $25 billion in CCUS projects and programs.

Based on the large CCUS plants and projects that we have identified worldwide, we expect the combined CO2 capture capacity based on post-combustion, pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion to dominate in 2020 in terms of volume captured. We differentiate between the three main capture systems that can be integrated in both power plants and industrial plants and the inherent capture of CO2 that occurs in industrial processes such as in the gas processing or biofuel sector.

While considerable R&D efforts are being made to develop new pathways for converting CO2 to useful products, these emerging applications are still mostly being tested at the laboratory or pilot scale. However, Chinese companies have already started to commercialize CO2-based polymers, thus overtaking Western companies that have been doing extensive research in this field for years.

Despite the many developments being made, CCUS technology has not reached its optimum level. While its importance in terms of helping organizations and governments reach climate goals was recognized long ago, its deployment has been very slow.
