– Current consensus is that renewable energy sources and efficiency improvements are not enough to fully decarbonize industries.
– CCUS is recommended to ensure all emissions are targeted for net-zero strategies.
– Current carbon capture capacity by 2030 is only 40% of what is needed for net-zero emissions.
– High costs, lack of investment incentives, and regulatory uncertainty are barriers to CCUS implementation.
– Industry leaders like Shell, Exxon Mobil, and BASF are investing in CCUS technology.
– Steel industry is turning to alternative technologies like direct reduced iron and electrolyzer technology for decarbonization.
– CCUS market is expected to grow from $4.89 billion in 2024 to $8.04 billion in 2030, with North America leading in operational capacity.
– Europe is expected to see fastest growth in CCUS market from 2024 to 2030.
– Cost of CCUS infrastructure is expected to decline with technological advancements and innovations.
