In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, CO2 transport and storage infrastructure underpins the widespread deployment of carbon capture, including carbon dioxide removal via direct air capture with storage and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) refers to a suite of technologies that can play an important and diverse role in meeting global energy and climate goals. CCUS involves the capture of CO2 from large point sources, including power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass for fuel.
Carbon capture and utilisation refers to a range of applications through which CO2 is captured and used either directly (i.e. not chemically altered) or indirectly (i.e. transformed) in various products. CO2 is today primarily used in the fertiliser industry and for enhanced oil recovery.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is the only group of technologies that contributes both to reducing emissions in key sectors directly and to removing CO2 to balance emissions that are challenging to avoid – a critical part of “net” zero goals.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage. If all announced CO 2 capture capacity is realised and the current growth trend continues, global capacity could reach NZE levels by 2030. Reducing project lead times, particularly related to the development of CO 2 storage, will be critical to achieve those levels.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) can be an important technology to help achieve that goal. Indonesia is already taking meaningful steps, finalising the first regulatory framework for CCUS in Southeast Asia in early 2023.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies are an important solution for the decarbonisation of the global energy system as it proceeds down the path to net zero emissions.
What is carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)? CCUS involves the capture of CO2, generally from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass as fuel.
direct air capture (DAC) technologies extract CO 2 directly from the atmosphere, for CO 2 storage or utilisation. Twenty-seven DAC plants have been commissioned to date worldwide, capturing almost 0.01 Mt CO 2 /year.
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies are set to play an important role in supporting clean energy transitions in Southeast Asia. CCUS can address emissions from the region’s existing power and industrial assets while underpinning new economic opportunities associated with the production of low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia.
