Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a suite of technologies that capture carbon dioxide from industrial point sources or directly from the atmosphere, then either store it permanently underground or convert it into commercially valuable products. Applied to a conventional power plant, carbon capture systems can reduce CO2 emissions by roughly 80–90% compared to an uncontrolled facility.

CO2 is already a globally traded commodity, with around 230 million tonnes consumed each year. The fertilizer industry is the largest consumer, using roughly 130 Mt for urea manufacturing, followed by the oil and gas sector, which uses 70–80 Mt for enhanced oil recovery. While most commercial use today involves the direct application of CO2, emerging pathways are transforming it into synthetic fuels, chemicals, polymers, and building materials.

This comprehensive market report provides an in-depth analysis of the global CCUS industry across a twenty-year forecast horizon. It examines the entire value chain — capture, transport, utilization, and storage — and delivers granular market forecasts segmented by capture type, CO2 endpoint, source sector, and region. The report covers the full technology landscape, from mature post-combustion chemical absorption through to emerging direct air capture (DAC), electrochemical conversion, and enhanced mineralization. It concludes with profiles of nearly 400 companies operating across the value chain.
