Carbon Capture

Tuesday 1 October 2024 - How Profitable, Emerging CO2 Utilization Applications Can Accelerate CCUS Deployment. ; Overview of CO2 utilization pathways and products; Discussion of scale, TRL (technology readiness level), and profitability for promising CO2 technologies; Analysis of additional revenue streams from CO2 utilization applications - including waste disposal fees, carbon credits, and 45Q tax credits; Key considerations for CO2 utilization market growth

According to IDTechEx forecasts, dedicated geological storage of carbon dioxide will outpace EOR as the leading end fate of capture CO2 by the end of the decade. By 2045, IDTechEx forecasts the world will be sequestering 1.6 gigatonnes per annum of CO2 underground.

Carbon capture technologies capable of removing CO2 from industrial emissions have been around for over 50 years, but widescale deployment of CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) has been too slow for global net-zero ambitions. While governments are beginning to implement carbon pricing mechanisms or tax credits to motivate permanent storage of CO2 deep underground, a profitable business model exists beyond CO2 sequestration via emerging CO2 utilization applications.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) enables CO2 emissions to be captured from their source, or directly from the atmosphere. Technologies can then be used to recycle carbon dioxide into useful carbon-containing products, or the CO2 can be moved to underground storage facilities.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies strip carbon dioxide (CO2) from waste gases and directly from the atmosphere before either storing it underground or using it for a range of industrial applications. IDTechEx forecasts significant growth for CCUS.

Major CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) players converged in Houston, Texas, in the last week of June for the 2024 iteration of the Carbon Capture Technology Expo North America. Co-located with the Hydrogen Technology Expo, the event boasted over 8000 attendees and 400 exhibitors - including IDTechEx.

Thursday 1 August 2024 - How Emerging Business Models and Technologies Will Accelerate Point-Source CCUS Deployment. This webinar will explore the CCUS business model, including methods of profiting from CCUS even within the current regulatory landscape, and how carbon markets are set to shape the future of CCUS.

IDTechEx Explores Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies - Carbon dioxide removal is required alongside reducing emissions to help reach net zero. Once removed from the atmosphere, CO2 can be stored in numerous ways, such as trees and ecosystems, ocean reservoirs, and underground geological storage.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies strip carbon dioxide (CO₂) from waste gases and directly from the atmosphere before either storing it underground or using it for a range of industrial applications.

Fuel cell electric vehicles, Li-ion battery-powered cars, and carbon dioxide removal strategies all work to reduce global CO2 emissions. IDTechEx has a multitude of sustainability reports that give outlooks on the shared efforts of various sectors to reduce CO2 emissions in the air, to promote a cleaner way forward.
