Regional Insights

North America leads in project count and investment value, particularly along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Canadian oil sands. Europe is scaling up cross-border CO₂ transport and storage under the Net Zero Industry Act. Asia Pacific, driven by China and Australia, is building CCUS hubs focused on heavy industry decarbonization and blue hydrogen.

End-Use Insights

Key sectors deploying CCUS include power generation, cement and lime, steel manufacturing, chemicals and petrochemicals, and hydrogen production. The power sector remains the largest capture segment, but industrial CCUS is growing fastest due to sector-specific emissions reduction mandates.

Deployment Insights

Deployment types include point-source capture (from industrial flue gas), direct air capture (DAC), and bioenergy with CCS (BECCS). DAC and BECCS are increasingly favored for their potential to achieve negative emissions, while point-source remains dominant in current infrastructure.

Process Insights

Processes include post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, and oxy-fuel combustion. Geological storage methods involve saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Utilization includes conversion to fuels, building materials, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Advances in membranes, solvents, and solid sorbents are optimizing capture efficiency.
