Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies capture CO2 from flue gases or directly from the atmosphere. This captured carbon dioxide is then permanently stored or utilized to generate revenue. Governments have recognized the role CCUS can play in decarbonizing industry and valorizing waste CO2, and are continuing to create favourable CCUS policy environments through carbon pricing, tax credits, and subsidies. The essential role of the private sector is crystallizing, with examples including oil and gas companies pivoting into providing CO2 transportation and storage services and data center hyperscalers creating markets for carbon credits from direct air capture (DAC) and biogenic CCUS (BECCS).
The new IDTechEx market report "Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Markets 2026-2036: Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players" provides a comprehensive outlook of the emerging CCUS industry and carbon markets, with an in-depth analysis of the technological, economic, regulatory, and environmental aspects that are set to shape the CCUS industry over the next 10 years. Carbon capture, carbon utilization, and carbon storage technologies are evaluated, discussing latest advancements, key players, and opportunities and barriers within each area. The report also includes a 10-year granular forecast until 2036 for CCUS carbon capture capacity (segmented by CO2 end-point, point-source vs DAC, industrial sector, and region) alongside exclusive analysis, 60 interview-based company profiles, and coverage of 350+ companies.
