IETA has published a Carbon Management Business Brief on Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS). This new Business Brief provides an overview of the CCUS value chain, carbon crediting approaches, policy and regulatory developments, market trends, and financing considerations. It also examines the role of CCUS across voluntary and compliance carbon markets, highlights global deployment models, and explores the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector's future.
CCUS is a critical pathway for reducing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors by capturing carbon dioxide from industrial sources or the atmosphere, transporting it, and either permanently storing it underground or utilising it in products. Recognised by the IPCC as essential for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, CCUS is gaining momentum worldwide as governments and industries accelerate decarbonisation efforts.
This Business Brief was last updated in July 2026.
