The CCUS sector is growing rapidly. Analysts predict that the industry will generate hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue by 2050, employing millions of people worldwide. Considerable potential exists for carbon capture and storage, with industries already implementing carbon capture technologies across multiple sectors. The first large-scale CCUS projects, with capacities reaching several gigatons of CO₂ per year, are expected to begin operations in the coming months. By 2030, a substantial share of existing carbon capture systems is projected to be fully operational. New applications are under development, including CCUS integration in cement production, steel manufacturing, power generation, and emission reduction in heavy industries. Experts estimate that by 2050, a significant portion of carbon capture demands will originate from the industrial sector, with notable contributions from other fields as well.

Global companies continue to invest heavily in CCUS technologies, using their expertise in infrastructure development to advance the field. Carbon capture systems are built to capture and store CO₂ emissions from industrial operations. Developers are creating solutions suited to large-scale industrial applications or decentralized projects. Future expansion of these systems could establish decentralized carbon capture and storage networks that address a broad range of emission sources. Around the world, regions are both supplying and utilizing carbon capture solutions. However, maintaining an international perspective is essential, as Europe, for example, remains dependent on external CCUS technologies.

CCUS Requires Robust Infrastructure

Renewable energy sources play a vital role in powering CCUS operations. The infrastructure will soon be capable of supporting various carbon utilization processes with minimal technical adjustments. The main challenge lies in the safe transportation and storage of CO₂. Pipelines are considered cost-effective for transporting captured carbon dioxide over distances of up to 2,500 kilometres. Many existing pipelines can be repurposed or upgraded for CO₂ transport, but technical modifications remain necessary. This need is prompting higher investment and greater attention to regions with significant infrastructure development.
