Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (also referred to as CCUS) is a process that involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), transporting it through pipelines, ships, and other modes of transport and storing it under the Earth’s surface to prevent CO2 emissions. The stringent eco-friendly lawas emphasizing on curbing the CO2 emissions from industrial and power plants, is driving the growth of the market. The global carbon capture, utilization, and storage market size is expected to grow from USD 1.9 billion in 2021 to USD 4.1 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 17.0% during the forecast period.
