2026-02-04 • By Grace Harper

CCUS technologies achieve economic viability.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies are becoming economically viable as carbon pricing strengthens. Global CCUS investment exceeded $30 billion in 2025.

Direct air capture facilities are expanding, removing CO2 from ambient air. Climeworks and Carbon Engineering are scaling operations.

Industrial carbon capture is being retrofitted into power plants and industrial facilities. CCUS enables emissions reductions while maintaining production.

CCUS represents important complement to renewable energy strategies.
