Market Overview

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage is the process of capturing carbon dioxide from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO2 via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage deep underground in geological formations. CCUS technologies also provide the foundation for carbon removal or "negative emissions" when the CO2 comes from bio-based processes or directly from the atmosphere.

The primary aid in the market for carbon capture, utilization, and storage is capture administration, which also commands the largest market share. The first step in the process of carbon capture, use, and storage is capture. Either before combustion or after burning, the carbon is separated. To get it ready for shipping, the isolated CO2 is dried out and brought to a high-virtue state. Power plants, industries that handle petroleum gas, and businesses that produce concrete are examples of high emanation sources where carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies are typically introduced. The cost of CO2 capture is highly dependent on specialized, financial, and financial factors associated to the strategy and operations of CO2 capture innovation.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic is anticipated to cause a fall in the market for carbon capture, utilization, and storage in 2020. The entire world has been negatively impacted by this terrible illness, particularly North America and Europe. Business have stopped operating and shut down their factories, and the government has banned construction work in order to stop the virus from spreading further. As a result, carbon capture, utilization, and storage have been used less frequently across all end-use industries. The production of end-use industries has been slowed down by COVID-19 and pre-existing regulatory difficulties such as drawn-out permitting procedures, which have decreased demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage. However, it is anticipated that in 2021, demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage would increase. China was the first nation to be impacted by COVID-19, which led to a disruption in the worldwide supply chain for carbon capture, utilization, and storage as well as decreased manufacturing activity in a number of end-use industries. The need for carbon capture, utilization, and storage has increased because a number of end-use sectors have resumed operations and are soon anticipated to recover from the damage.

Growth Drivers

• Growing focus on reducing CO2 emissions to augment the market growth

By using a variety of techniques, carbon capture, utilization, and storage prevent CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. The primary cause of CO2 emissions worldwide is the production of electricity using fossil fuels and natural gas. By using carbon capture, utilization, and storage, greenhouse gases can be kept out of the atmosphere. Therefore, the adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage to minimize emissions is rising as a result of increased worries about climate change. For instance, President Joe Biden signed an executive order stating that America would create 100% carbon-free power by 2035 in response to the rise in carbon emissions caused by burning fossil fuels for energy, which is a factor in global warming. Furthermore, governments from different nations are providing a number of benefits to reach net-zero emissions to encourage the adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Tax credits and government subsidies that assist plant owners are just a few of the benefits provided by public institutions.

Restraints

• High cost to restrain the market growth

The cost of carbon capture and storage is higher than the cost of non-carbon capture and storage when utilizing the same fuel and net energy output, including all original costs and continuing operational & maintenance costs of the carbon capture and storage facility. All elements of the value chain—CO2 capture at the plant, transportation, and storage—are included in the cost of carbon capture and storage. The main cost factors of the CO2 capture process are the efficiency losses brought on by the energy consumed in the capture processes and the inclusion of capture-specific equipment. Costs associated with storage are determined by taking into account variables including early investigation, site evaluation, and site preparation. The plant makers are unable to incorporate carbon capture, utilization, and storage because of monitoring costs as well.

Opportunity

• Increasing demand for CO2 – EOR techniques to bring up market growth prospects

In many different industries, including food and beverage, manufacturing, and metal production, CO2 is frequently employed. In the past, naturally existing reservoirs were where the majority of the CO2 utilized for EOR procedures was extracted. However, in situations where naturally existing reserves are not available, new technologies are being developed to manufacture CO2 from industrial applications, such as ethanol, fertilizer, hydrogen plants, and natural gas processing. Thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical injection are examples of EOR approaches. The employment of CO2-EOR techniques aids in the production of 30–60% or more oil from reservoirs, the restoration of reservoir pressure, the reduction of viscosity and oil density, and the improvement of carbonate formations’ permeability.

Challenges

• Transportation to pose challenges for market expansion

In addition to the high price of capture technologies, transporting CO2 after it has been caught presents some difficulties. The pipes themselves are expensive to build, and they demand a lot of energy to compress and chill CO2, maintain high pressure, and keep temperatures low.

Segmentation Analysis

• The global Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage market is segmented based on service, technology, end-user, and region

Based on services, the market is segmented into capture, transportation, utilization, and storage. In 2021, the market for carbon capture, utilization, and storage was dominated by the capture service segment. The first step in the CCUS process, carbon capture, involves removing CO2 from its emission source. Any large-scale emission process, including coal-fired power stations, the production of gas and oil, and manufacturing sectors like cement, iron, and steel, can use it. The design and operation of the production process, as well as the design and operation of the CO2 capture equipment, are major technical, economic, and financial aspects that affect the cost of CO2 capture.

Based on technology, the market is segmented into pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion capture, and post-combustion capture. The post-combustion capture segment dominated the growth of the market. In the post-burning process, CO2 is extracted from the flue gas produced by the combustion of fuels like coal or natural gas. According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory, which offers integrated solutions to support the transition to a sustainable energy future, out of the 4 trillion kilowatt hours of power produced in the United States in 2019, 38% came from natural gas and 23% from coal. The use of post-combustion capture technologies is essential to reducing CO2 emissions as more than 60% of electricity is produced by fossil fuel power plants.

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into oil & gas, power generation, iron & steel, chemical & petrochemical, cement, and others. The oil & gas segment dominates the market growth. The technology for carbon capture, utilization, and storage is widely utilized in the oil and gas sector to stop the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For use in deep, offshore, or onshore geological formations for increased oil recovery, the oil and gas sector stores carbon dioxide. For instance, the oil and gas industry captured, stored, and used about 24 million tons of CO2 in 2019, primarily from natural gas processing facilities. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which provides official U.S. energy statistics, natural gas generation is predicted to increase by about 2.7% year between 2012 and 2040. By 2040, this is anticipated to produce 30% of the world's energy. As a result, it is predicted that in the years to come, demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage will increase due to the use of captured CO2 in the oil and gas industry.

Recent Developments:

• In October 2021, ExxonMobil Corporation signed an expression of interest to capture, transport, and store CO2 from its Fife Ethylene Plant. It increased its participation in the Acorn carbon capture project in Scotland to achieve this.
• In September 2020, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), worked with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (Japan) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (Japan) to conduct test operations and measurements for a small-scale ship-based CO2 capture demonstration plant. This technology is being tested to verify the equipment’s use as a marine-based CO2 capture system.
