After years of slow progress, technologies to capture carbon emissions and store or reuse them are gaining momentum – a trend that will need to accelerate significantly for the world to achieve its energy and climate goals, according to a new report released by the IEA today.
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 from the atmosphere to balance the emissions that are the hardest to prevent – a crucial part of reaching the net-zero emissions goals that a growing number of governments and companies have set for themselves.
Part of the IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives Series, the new IEA report, CCUS in Clean Energy Transitions, is the most comprehensive global study on CCUS to date.
Itassesses the state of play of CCUS technologies and maps out the evolving and expanding role they will need to play to put global emissions on a sustainable trajectory.
