CCS Extends Its Reach Beyond Oil and Gas

Investment in carbon capture and storage is skyrocketing. Last year, the technology attracted some $6.4 billion globally, more than double the year before. But why are industries now looking to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to cut down on their carbon emissions, rather than other, better-established methods? On today’s show, Dana sits down with Allen Tom Abraham and Anastasia Tomasidou from BNEF’s Sustainable Materials team. Together, they take a look at the various sectors that are utilizing CCS technology, methods of carbon capture and storage and potential bottlenecks in the existing system, and the role that policy plays in the expansion of CCS across the globe. Today’s episode draws from the BNEF research note CCUS Market Outlook 2023. Complimentary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal, on bnef.com or on the BNEF mobile app. Links to research notes from this episode: CCUS Market Outlook 2023 - https://www.bnef.com/insights/32621See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
