Carbon Capture & Storage: The Key to a Greener Future
"Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industries and power plants before it reaches the air. The captured CO₂ is then either stored underground safely or reused to make useful products like fuels, chemicals, or building materials."
BOSTON, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, the demand for Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage Technologies is grow from $3.4 billion in 2024 and to $9.6 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.1% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2029.
This report examines the global market for CCUS technologies, highlighting market dynamics. Market size is presented in both value (USD millions) and volume (thousand metric tons or MTs, equivalent to 2,205 lbs.), with "tonne" not used for consistency. It explores technological, competitive, and economic trends influencing the industry.
Additionally, the report provides an overview of CCUS technology segments and analyses the global market by technology, services, industry, and region. The study concludes with profiles of 15 leading companies in the CCUS sector.
Interesting facts
- The cost of CCUS is influenced by energy availability and pricing, which vary by region. China and Japan lead in CO₂-based polymer production, surpassing Western firms in R&D for utilizing captured carbon in the chemical industry.
- R&D efforts in CCUS primarily focus on cost reduction, especially in carbon capture, which represents about 75% of total capital expenditure. The U.S. DOE aims to lower carbon capture costs to under $40 per ton by 2025 and $30 per ton by 2035.
- The cement industry has recently adopted CCUS, with Heidelberg Materials Brevik leading the way with a 0.4 MTPA capture capacity. The sector is expected to scale up rapidly, reaching 16.5 MTPA by 2030.
- According to the IEA, CCUS could contribute to 25% of emissions reductions in iron and steel, 63% in cement, and over 80% in fuel transformation by 2050.
