Markoorsig

The global carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) market was valued at $2,100 miljoen in 2021 and is projected to reach $12,160 miljoen deur 2031, growing at a CAGR of 19.2% between 2022 en 2031. The market is driven by the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions and the growing demand for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, there are key restraining factors, such as the lack of storage facilities and CO2 leakage from underground storage.

The growth of the CCUS market is primarily fueled by the rising emphasis on reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, supportive government initiatives, and the growing demand for CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). CCUS involves capturing CO2 from large point sources like power generation plants, cement industries, and other industrial facilities that use fossil fuels or biomass. The captured CO2 is then compressed and transported for various applications or injected into deep geological formations for permanent storage. Some captured carbon is also utilized in the production of end products like urea and beverages. The surge in industrialization worldwide has led to increased CO2 emissions, prompting governments around the world, including the U.S., the Netherlands, the U.K., Sjina, and India, to establish CO2 capture and storage plants. Daarbenewens, the focus on minimizing greenhouse gas emissions creates potential market demand for CCUS.

As the world strives for net-zero emissions, there is a shift toward eco-friendly industrial practices, particularly in the oil and gas industry in regions like North America and the Middle East. The U.S. currently has the largest CCUS industry, with oil and gas companies utilizing captured carbon for enhanced oil recovery.

The impact of COVID-19 on the CCUS market has been limited since it is not yet fully commercialized. Most investments in CCUS plants were announced before the pandemic and are currently under construction.

New CCUS plants, such as the iCORD project in Croatia and the Dry Fork Power Plant in the U.S., are expected to start operations in 2025. Due to the industry’s delayed nature, it did not experience significant impacts.

Demand drivers for the global CCUS market include favorable government policies, the increasing demand for CO2 in EOR, and the adoption of net-zero emissions targets. However, the market also faces limitations, including the high initial cost of the carbon capture process and the potential leakage of CO2 from underground storage reservoirs.

The global CCUS market is predominantly influenced by the oil and gas industry, which holds a significant 61.7% share. Within this industry, the primary application of CO2 is enhanced oil recovery (EOR), wherein pressurized CO2 is injected into oil and gas reservoirs to extract additional hydrocarbons. This usage is expected to continue dominating the CCUS market during the forecast period from 2022 aan 2031. The growing adoption of carbon dioxide for EOR in the oil and gas sector is driven by its dual role as both utilization and storage for captured carbon. Daarbenewens, the utilization of CCUS to capture CO2 from flue gases and store it within geological reservoirs further contributes to the growth of this application.

Among the various CCUS technologies, post-combustion carbon capture technology holds a commanding 95% share of the global market, primarily due to its commercial viability compared to other technologies. Post-combustion capture led the market in 2021 and is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period from 2022 aan 2031. This technology is widely utilized due to its advantages, including lower installation costs, simplicity relative to other carbon capture processes, and easy availability. Post-combustion capture has proven efficacy in capturing CO2 from flue gases, and ongoing research is continually advancing and improving existing systems, further driving the growth of this particular type.

In terms of regional distribution, North America holds a significant 68% share of the global CCUS market, mainly attributable to operational CCUS plants in locations such as Texas and Wyoming in the United States, as well as Saskatchewan and Alberta in Canada. North America emerged as the leader in the carbon capture utilization and storage market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to numerous upcoming projects in the region, along with improved government initiatives aimed at developing and deploying CCUS technologies. The CCUS market in North America is primarily driven by growing demand from various end-use applications and stricter environmental regulations aimed at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, which are anticipated to fuel market growth from 2022 aan 2031.
