The market is poised for robust growth, fueled by a confluence of driving trends including stringent environmental regulations worldwide mandating reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is creating fertile ground for CCS technologies. As renewable energy sources like solar and wind gain traction, the need to capture emissions from traditional fossil fuels grows even more pressing. In addition, government incentives in the form of tax breaks, grants, and loan guarantees are enticing players towards CCS implementation.
The economic viability of CCS is improving, with the declining costs of technology and the rising price of carbon making it a more attractive option for power generation companies. Interested investors in CCS is also surging due to its potential to play a pivotal role in the transition towards a low-carbon economy.
Governments on a global scale have implemented policies and regulations aimed at incentivizing the adoption of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. These policy initiatives are instrumental in propelling the market for Oil & Gas CCS. Notably, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) exemplified this commitment in October 2022.
As part of its Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment program (FECM), the DOE allocated a substantial appropriation of USD 8.5 billion for investment in CCS infrastructure. This funding is intended to facilitate the expansion of CCS projects. The continued efforts by governments worldwide to mitigate emissions are expected to further enhance the facilitation and deployment of CCS projects on a global scale.
