CCUS to Play a Crucial Role in Achieving Climate Goals by 2050 | GlobalData Plc

Policy and economic incentives will be needed to develop CCS at a scale that effectively contributes to climate goals


LONDON, June 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In most scenarios modeling energy transition, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is set to play a key role to reach climate goals by 2050 by increasing the chances of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees C by end of the century. CCUS will be crucial in netting emissions in sectors where complete reduction of emissions will not be possible, such as heavy industry activities. Without CCUS contributing to netting emissions, the pace for replacing fossil fuels in power generation and transport needs to be much higher and will require an amount of investment and coordination among countries which does not seem realistic.

The Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Strategies in the Oil and Gas Industry market research report offered by GlobalData Plc provides an introduction to CCUS technologies, global context on the status of active CCUS facilities, O&G leaders in CCUS, and strategies of selected O&G leaders in CCUS.

Active CCS Capacity, by Sector

Existing CCS capacity is concentrated in natural gas processing plants. This is often due to the high CO2 content of natural gas streams, which must be removed. In most cases, the captured CO2 is used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) activities within the upstream segment of oil and gas.

Exxon is a pioneer in the implementation of CCUS technology, operating one of the earliest commercial facilities. Exxon Mobil is using a variety of technologies in tandem with CCUS. It established its Low Carbon Solutions business unit in 2021 to commercialize low-carbon technologies. In late 2021, the company also leased vast areas in the Gulf of Mexico which are speculated to be intended for CCUS rather than oil and gas extraction.
