Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies capture CO2 from flue gases or directly from the atmosphere. This captured carbon dioxide is then permanently stored or utilized to generate revenue. Governments have recognized the role CCUS can play in decarbonizing industry and valorizing waste CO2, and are continuing to create favourable CCUS policy environments through carbon pricing, tax credits, and subsidies. The essential role of the private sector is crystallizing, with examples including oil and gas companies pivoting into providing CO2 transportation and storage services and data center hyperscalers creating markets for carbon credits from direct air capture (DAC) and biogenic CCUS (BECCS).

The acceleration of CCUS markets has continued into 2025, with noteworthy first-of-a-kind projects coming online including Northern Lights T&S and Stratos DAC. As the CCUS project pipeline continues to swell, with 50 million tonnes of new capacity under construction as of 2025, this IDTechEx report provides an overview of CCUS business models, economics, and leading/emerging capture technologies.
 
Business model
Tax credits and/or government subsidies are still typically needed to bring new large-scale CCUS capacity online. Key examples include the US 45Q tax credit (recently boosted for carbon dioxide utilization in the Trump administration's Big Beautiful Bill) and the UK government announcing £20 billion in funding for industrial CCUS clusters. Compliance carbon market mechanisms are expected to ultimately enable CCUS long-term. As of 2025, 28% of global CO2 emissions are covered by some form of carbon pricing, with the arrival of the European Union CBAM (carbon border adjustment mechanism) in 2026 motivating new carbon market developments.
 
Additionally, new partial chain CCUS hubs, clusters, and networks are set to unlock economies of scale and debottleneck CCUS development. By providing shared CO2 transportation and CO2 storage infrastructure, this new CCUS business model will streamline CCUS project development.
 
Point-source capture technology developments
Amine solvents for point-source carbon capture are technologically mature, but innovations continue to be commercialized such as demixing solvents and water-lean solvents. This IDTechEx report also includes balance of plant considerations for amine solvent carbon capture, including advances to improve mass transfer in absorber/stripper columns.
 
Beyond amine solvents, emerging start-ups in the carbon capture space are pursuing a broad range of technologies including molten borate salts, facilitated transport membranes, molten carbonate fuel cells, and cryogenic approaches. These technologies ultimately aim to reduce the energy demand of capture. In this report, IDTechEx identifies key carbon capture players and benchmarks capture technologies.

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
  • Historic data, based on our own databases of products, companies' sales data, information from associations, company reports and validation of our prior market figures with companies in the industry.
  • Current and announced manufacturing capacities
  • Company production targets
  • Direct input from companies as we interview them as to their growth expectations, moderated by our analysts
  • Planned or active government incentives and regulations
  • Assessment of the capabilities and price of the technology based on our benchmarking over the forecast period, versus that of competitive solutions
  • Teardown data (e.g. to assess volume of materials used)
  • From a top-down view: the total addressable market
  • Forecasts can be based on an s-curve methodology where appropriate, taking into account the above factors
  • Key assumptions and discussion of what can impact the forecast are covered in the report.

How can I be confident about the quality of work in IDTechEx reports?

Based on our technical analysts and their research methodology, for over 25 years our work has regularly received superb feedback from our global clients. Our research business has grown year-on-year.

What differentiates IDTechEx reports?

Our team of in-house technical analysts immerse themselves in industries over many years, building deep expertise and engaging directly with key industry players to uncover hard-to-find insights. We appraise technologies in the landscape of competitive solutions and then assess their market demand based on voice-of-the-customer feedback, all from an impartial point of view. This approach delivers exceptional value to our customers—providing high-quality independent content while saving customers time, resources, and money.

Why should we pick IDTechEx research over AI research?

A crucial value of IDTechEx research is that it provides information, assessments and forecasts based on interviews with key people in the industry, assessed by technical experts. AI is trained only on content publicly available on the web, which may not be reliable, in depth, nor contain the latest insights based on the experience of those actively involved in a technology or industry, despite the confident prose.

How can I justify the ROI of this report?

Consider the cost of the IDTechEx report versus the time and resources required to gather the same quality of insights yourself. IDTechEx analysts have built up an extensive contact network over many years; we invest in attending key events and interviewing companies around the world; and our analysts are trained in appraising technologies and markets.
 
Each report provides an independent, expert-led technical and market appraisal, giving you access to actionable information immediately, rather than you having to spend months or years on your own market research.

Can I speak to analysts about the report content?

All report purchases include up to 30 minutes of telephone time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.

What is the difference between a report and subscription?

A subscription from IDTechEx can include more reports, access to an online information platform with continuously updated information from our analysts, and access to analysts directly.

Before purchasing, I have some questions about the report, can I speak to someone?
