CCUS Regulation and Incentives in the Asia-Pacific Region: A Comparative Table for Strategic Decision-Making
Carbon capture utilization and storage ("CCUS") refers to technologies that enable carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions from industrial sources to be captured and either used in a way that limits or prevents them from being emitted into the atmosphere or enables them to be sequestered underground or otherwise stored for long-term (ideally permanent) isolation from the atmosphere.
The ability to capture and permanently store CO2 is expected to play a vital role in reducing global CO2 emissions and achieving "net zero" carbon emissions, which is a key goal for corporations, industries, and governments.
This White Paper will explore:
- The fundamentals of CCUS technologies;
- CCUS's role in the energy transition;
- The CCUS value chain;
- CCUS business models; and
- CCUS in the Asia-Pacific region, including recent developments, opportunities and risks, and future outlook.
