Carbon, use and storage capture projects (CCUS) experienced modest growth over the last year, and the industry changed its focus on the advancement of existing news, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The latest update of the CCUS project database of the Agency, which covers advances from the first quarter of 2024 until the first quarter of 2025, shows constant but limited earnings in the operational capacity and maturity of the project.
The report that tracks developments from the first quarter of 2024 to the beginning of 2025, shows the world operational capacity for carbon dioxide attracting and storage, has reached just over 50 million tonnes, slightly higher than the previous year.
With a view to 2030, the IEA reports that CO₂ annual capture capacity could rise up to about 430 million tonnes, based on the current channel of the project.
The storage capacity, in turn, is expected to increase to about 670 million tonnes, an increase of 10% over the previous projections.
Although these developments represent progress, they are still not enough to put the sector on the track of clean zero emissions in the middle of the century.
However, there are indications of impulse, with various top -notch projects, either as a construction or operating in different industries and regions, according to the report.
A key tendency identified to the IEA findings is a growing approach to promoting projects forward in the gas pipeline, instead of starting new ones.
The projects of the first stages of planning have experienced a reduction in the total planned capacity, while those that are in advanced development or currently under construction have increased, which now represent 60% of the total canalization.
If all projects are currently under construction, the existing global capture capacity would almost double.
This would mark the first expansion since the creation of the CCUS de la IEA project database.
The recently commissioned number of operating projects remained stable compared to the previous year.
By 2024, eight new CCU facilities began to operate. However, most were on a small scale, capturing or storing up to 5,000 t of CO₂ per year.
As a result, the global increase in operational capacity during the year was modest.
The capture of the point source, which involves CO₂ emissions directly from industrial and energy facilities, was continued to expand at a pace similar to last years.
The natural gas processing facilities are still the main source of operational capture capacity, continuing a historical pattern.
This dominance is expected to persist in the short term, partly driven by a significant investment decision in the Liquefy Natural Gas sector in Indonesia, the report said.
