Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global carbon capture, utilization, and storage market size reached approximately USD 3.53 Billion in 2024. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 14.20% between 2025 and 2034 to attain a value of around USD 13.32 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage, also known as CCUS, refers to a process that captures CO2 emissions and stores them for reutilization. Carbon dioxide emissions are typically captured from sources like coal-fired power plants. CCUS plays an integral role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving the development of a sustainable future.

• Some of the key carbon capture, utilization, and storage market trends include the rising focus on decarbonisation, the surging attempts to produce low-carbon electricity, and growing concerns regarding energy shortages. CCUS can reduce emissions in hard-to-abate sectors like cement and enhance the flexibility and diversity of energy supply to improve energy security.
• The introduction of various initiatives by governments globally to drive sustainable growth, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and achieve net-zero emissions is favouring the market growth. Moreover, the increasing deployment of CCUS technology to convert captured CO2 to value-added products such as building materials, chemicals, green urea, and bioplastics is anticipated to aid the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market growth in the coming years.
• There is an increasing focus on enhancing the affordability and functionality of carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology to boost its deployment in different sectors such as cement and oil and gas. Besides, the increasing adoption of digitisation by key players to facilitate various processes such as process automation, flow surveillance, and predictive maintenance, among others, is likely to favour the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market in the coming years.
