THE CHALLENGE
CCUS technology and direct air capture are critical to industrial decarbonization
Some Industrial processes in the global economy cannot decarbonize without CCUS
CCUS (Carbon capture utilization and storage) may be the only way we can address the nearly 25% of point source industrial emissions that cannot be avoided by moving to alternative fuels because emissions come from fossil-fuel intensive industrial processes using natural gas or oil.
To meet the Paris Agreement climate goals, CCUS needs to grow exponentially
In 2020 there were only 26 active CCUS projects. According to the IEA’s Sustainable Development Scenario, CCUS capacity will have to increase from roughly 40 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) today to a capacity of 7.6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050 to meet our climate change goals.
There is no one-size-fits-all technology for carbon dioxide removal
Despite its long history and relative maturity, the application of carbon capture technology still involves the uncertainties associated with emerging renewable and low-carbon technologies. Emitters will need a mix of CCUS technologies to meet point source emissions reduction needs and climate goals over the next decade, whether in the US, China, or Europe.
TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
We are investing today in the carbon capture and storage solutions of tomorrow
Massive industrial carbon capture and storage hub with Borg CO2 in the Viken region of Norway
Industrial facilities clustered around three adjacent Norwegian cities emit approximately 700,000 tons of CO2 per year. This project aims to capture and store up to 90% of those emissions, benefiting international carbon dioxide emissions reduction goals.

CCUS is a net-zero emissions imperative: here’s how we make it a reality
Download to learn more
As the world attempts to build an energy mix that is net carbon dioxide neutral, it is easy to overlook the importance of energy sources that continue to produce carbon emissions. That’s why carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies will undoubtedly play an important role in achieving a net-zero emissions energy future in not only the US but also Europe and China.
Born from necessity in the hydrocarbons sector, the application of CCUS still involves uncertainty. And scaling up will require unprecedented development from new large-scale partnerships and storage projects, backed up by the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Can emitters collectively develop and deploy these technologies, scaling up faster than ever before?
