Value of investment, partnerships and policy in growing CCS market As 2050 climate targets near, matching climate ambition with urgent action will drive CCS adoption, inching us closer to a net-zero future

Guloren Turan Global CCS Institute

I n 2021, carbon capture and storage – or CCS – saw the largest scale-up since the technology’s inception over 50 years ago. The first commercial CCS facility was brought online in 1972, primarily to enhance the business operations of a natural gas processing facility in Terrell, Texas. A few decades later, industry players in Norway sought to adopt the innovative technology to abate CO₂ emissions and store it offshore in the North Sea, making the country a first mover in undertaking CCS efforts solely for climate change mitigation purposes. Since then, interest and popularity around CCS have steadily grown, leading to increased CCS policy

development, a rise in financial investments, and more public-private partnerships. As climate impacts become a stark reality for governments and businesses alike, applying a sustainability lens to long-term strategic planning has become imperative. Guiding by legislated international and domestic climate targets, the role of CCS as a credible climate solution and a tool to support a just energy transition is being steadily recognised and adopted. Current state of CCS Over the last year alone, 73 new CCS facilities were added to the project pipeline globally (see
