Carbon Capture and Utilisation

Carbon will remain an essential feedstock even as economies move towards climate neutrality. CCU offers a pathway to meet this continued demand with captured carbon, reducing reliance on virgin fossil carbon. Captured carbon can be converted into products ranging from chemicals and plastics to synthetic fuels. To fulfil this potential at scale, captured carbon must be converted efficiently and cost-effectively, integrated into industrial processes and supported by market and regulatory conditions that enable competitive and sustainable use.
