Carbon capture, utilisation and storage: an overview

CaptureCapturing CO2 from fossil or biomass-

fuelled power stations, industrial

facilities, or directly from the air.

TransportMoving compressed CO2 by ship or

pipeline from the point of capture to

the point of use or storage.

UseUsing captured CO2 as an

input or feedstock to create

products or services.

StoragePermanently storing CO2 in

underground geological

formations, onshore or offshore.


A new dawn for CCUS

• Stronger investment incentives and climate targets are building new momentum behind CCUS:

- More than 30 new projects announced recently

- Governments and industry have committed USD 4.5 billion in 2020

• CCUS can contribute to emissions reductions across the energy system, with four strategic roles:

- Tackling emissions from existing energy assets;

- A platform for low-carbon hydrogen production;

- A solution for the most challenging emissions in sectors such as heavy industry & aviation; and

- Removing carbon from the atmosphere

CCUS is part of a portfolio of technologies for net zero

Clean energy technology progress in the power sector and with electric cars is encouraging, but alone not sufficient

to reach climate goals. A broad portfolio of technologies will be needed for a transition to net-zero emissions.

Carbon capture facilities have been operating since the 1970s and 1980s

But a significant scale-up will be required for net-zero.

Four strategic roles for CCUS

1. Tackling emissions from

existing infrastructure

CCUS enables the continued operation of power and industrial plants – many of which have only recently been built

It is a low-cost option for low-carbon hydrogen production in many regions

Government and industry action this decade is crucial

• Four high-level priorities for governments and industry would accelerate the progress of CCUS over the

next decade:

1. Create the conditions for CCUS investment

2. Target the development of industrial hubs with shared CO2 infrastructure

3. Identify and encourage the development of CO2 storage

4. Boost innovation for critical CCUS technologies
