The global market for Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) was estimated to be worth US$ 4643 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 7555 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is considered the end-stage application of carbon capture technologies. As the final step in carbon capture processes, CCU utilizes CO2 which captured from Pre-Combustion Carbon Capture, Oxy-Combustion Carbon Capture, Post-Combustion Carbon Capture, and apply it in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, etc. In the energy sector, CO2 is used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) to increase oil extraction efficiency. In chemicals and fuels, captured CO2 serves as a feedstock for synthetic fuels, methanol, and other industrial chemicals. The construction industry utilizes CO2 in concrete curing and carbonated building materials, enhancing strength while reducing emissions. Such technologies are at different stages of development, and some are already commercially available. CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is a technology designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by capturing CO2 from industrial processes and power plants and piping it to a storage site to be permanently sequestered, thereby preventing it from entering the atmosphere. Whether it is CCS or CCU, the captured CO2 needs to be compressed for transportation and subsequent processing, so CCS, CCU together form CCUS, an integrated technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates the impacts of climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) generated from industrial and energy production processes and utilizing it or sequestering it. The CCUS technology is not only capable of capture and store CO2 but also be able to convert it into valuable products, thus realizing both environmental and economic benefits. These applications not only mitigate emissions but also create economic value, driving the commercialization of CCU technologies.
The major global companies of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) include Exxon Mobil, Aker Solutions (SLB), Linde PLC, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Halliburton, Huaneng, BASF, General Electric, Siemens AG, Honeywell UOP, Sulzer, Equinor, Shell, JX Nippon (ENEOS), Carbonfree, Sinopec, Fluor Corporation. In 2024, the world's top five vendors accounted for approximately 40.73% of the revenue.
The Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) market has undergone significant evolution in recent years, driven by the increasing global demand for sustainable and innovative solutions to mitigate climate change. Historically, the CCU sector focused primarily on carbon capture technologies, with limited focus on utilizing captured CO2 in productive ways. However, over the past decade, advances in CCU technologies have allowed for not only the capture but also the conversion of CO2 into valuable products, ranging from synthetic fuels to chemicals and building materials. Early market adoption was fueled by government policies, environmental regulations, and the need for heavy industries to comply with emissions reduction targets.
Currently, the CCU market is experiencing rapid growth, with key industries such as Oil and gas, power generation,cement, steel, and energy embracing carbon capture and utilization as essential elements of their sustainability strategies. Innovations in direct air capture (DAC) and bio-based conversion technologies are expanding the potential for CO2 utilization. Furthermore, collaboration between private companies, governments, and research institutions has accelerated the development of commercial-scale CCU facilities, driving cost reductions and efficiency improvements.
Looking forward, the future of the CCU market is poised for substantial transformation. One of the most prominent trends is the continued development of economically viable utilization technologies that convert captured CO2 into high-demand products, including chemicals, fuels, and consumer goods. The integration of renewable energy with carbon capture systems, such as using excess wind or solar power to power carbon capture processes, will also play a crucial role in enhancing the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of CCU technologies. As the global carbon market expands and more governments adopt stringent climate targets, the demand for CCU solutions is expected to rise sharply, with carbon credits and incentives further boosting market dynamics.
