Market Models for CCUS/CDR – A Global Screening

Overview

This report provides a key pillar to interested parties including policy makers, regulators, and the technical carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) / carbon dioxide removal (CDR) community on potential successful market strategies, including their pros and cons and their suitability for dierent economic and political realities, which may lead to the fast development of an eicient, safe, and accepted CCUS/CDR market sector.

Key findings

  • The potential market strategies identified in this report offer a roadmap for accelerating CCUS/CDR deployment.
  • These market strategies can be used by CCUS/CDR project developers as well as policymakers, trade bodies and other interested parties, to support rapid deployment of CCUS/CDR technologies.
  • Adopting flexible ownership models, ensuring stable revenue mechanisms, and securing sustainable capital financing, can all drive the deployment of CCUS/CDR technologies and facilitating the roll-out of infrastructure.
  • However, market strategies will vary depending on the sector (e.g. industry, power) and region so market strategies must be adaptable to address the unique economic, regulatory, and technological contexts of different markets.
  • Collaboration among governments, industry leaders, and investors will be essential in overcoming challenges and driving widespread deployment of CCUS/CDR infrastructure to achieve net zero emissions.

CO2 Flow Metering Technologies

  • 4 September 2025
  • Policy & Regulation
  • Transport

The main objective of this study is to raise awareness of the relevance, state of the art, challenges and opportunities of flow metering for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). Flow metering of CO2 streams will be critical in supporting trade, protecting consumers, ensuring confidence, facilitating taxation, and meeting CO2 reduction goals and treaty obligations.

Insurance Coverage for CO₂ Storage Projects

  • 16 August 2024
  • Industry Insights
  • Storage

This report is a focused review of recent developments regarding insurance coverage for carbon dioxide (CO₂) geological storage projects. It seeks to address the following: what companies are offering or planning to offer insurance to CO₂ storage projects, what is the scope and duration of the coverage offered, and does coverage extend to the transportation of CO₂ to the project site? This work and report was prepared by Franz Hiebert.

The Role of Indices in Assessing the Maturity of CCUS Technologies and their Readiness for Deployment

  • 1 February 2024
  • Industry Insights

This study was undertaken on behalf of IEAGHG by Foresight Transitions Ltd. While a technology may be technically mature, it has become increasingly clear that the technology may not necessarily be considered commercially ‘bankable’ by investors. In this study, the potential for an index or indices to provide that confidence was explored. The findings from the study will be of interest to the broader energy community but, in particular, should benefit technology developers, CCUS end users, investors and policymakers.

International Standards and Testing for Novel Carbonaceous Building Materials

  • 1 December 2023
  • Policy & Regulation
  • Utilisation

Over 4 billion tonnes of cement are produced each year, equating to approximately 8% of global anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, and this industry will continue to grow with the expansion of the built environment at a time that emissions need to be reduced. The utilisation or reduction of CO₂ within cement, concrete and building materials could be a valuable way to contribute to emissions reductions in the sector , but there are several barriers, including the current state of standards, regulations and policies. This study will provide useful information for the technical and research community, the CCUS industry, the construction industry, and policymakers, providing an unbiased and non-prescriptive evaluation of international standards and testing relevant to novel carbonaceous building materials to address some of those barriers. The market potential for CO₂ utilisation processes in the construction industry is also investigated, and the methods for certifying and measuring embodied carbon content of carbonated building materials is evaluated and the challenges therein.

Methodologies and Technologies for Mitigation

  • 1 December 2023
  • Industry Insights

The driver behind this study is to develop a report built on the on the previous IEAGHG report on methods of leakage mitigation (2007/11). The proposed study should focus on current mitigation and remediation methods that may be applied or considered in site specific conditions in the event of unpredicted CO₂ migration. Each geological storage site will have an adaptive site specific monitoring plan, based on a risk assessment. Detection of a significant irregularity may involve supplementing the monitoring program, in order to detect a possible leak and if necessary engaging mitigation measures.
