Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
The process of capturing carbon dioxide from fuel combustion or industrial processes, transporting it by ship or pipeline, and either using it as a resource to produce valuable goods or services or permanently storing it underground in geological formations is known as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
The main factors driving the global carbon dioxide removal market are the growing emphasis on lowering CO2 emissions, support for government programs, and rising demand for CO2-EOR techniques. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased due to quick industrialization around the world. The governments of numerous industrialized and emerging nations, including the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, China, and India, are constructing multiple CO2 capture and storage facilities to minimize their carbon footprints.
However, throughout the anticipated period, the expansion of the carbon dioxide market is anticipated to be constrained by the high cost of carbon capture and storage as well as falling crude oil prices.
The Carbon Dioxide Removal Market is segmented based on technology type and application. Based on technology type, the market is segmented as biochar, direct air capture (DAC), enhanced/carbon mineralization, ocean alkalinization, and others. By application, the market is segmented into the finance sector, the technology sector, and others.
The direct air capture category is expected to hold a major share of the global carbon dioxide removal market in 2024. Many dollars are being invested in installing direct air capture widely in major economies worldwide. During the forecast period, these countries are anticipated to build more coal-fired power plants, ultimately accelerating direct air capture (DAC) technology.
The technology segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global carbon dioxide removal market owing to the growing projects for carbon dioxide removal. Over three decades, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in Texas (U.S.) have used carbon dioxide. EOR accounts for over 20.0% of total oil output, and some fields achieve recoveries of around 70.0%. Most OPEC countries supporting CCUS technology use the Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism.
The North America Carbon Dioxide Removal Market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. This is due to the large investments in various R&D projects and high-capacity carbon capture and sequestration plants. The regional expansion has also benefited from funding programs launched by local governments.
For instance, in June 2021, to develop new methods for effectively absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) announced a USD 12 million federal support for six research and development initiatives pushing direct air capture (DAC) technology.
