CCUS advances toward commercial scale, but capacity lags climate goals

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies are advancing towards larger commercial networks, with methods like direct air capture (DAC) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) aiming to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Despite increased operational capacity, the International Energy Agency (IEA) notes that total capture capacity remains insufficient to meet climate goals, with many projects facing delays. The high cost of DAC, around $800-$1,900 per tonne of CO2, and the limited scale of current CCUS projects highlight the need for rapid expansion alongside other emissions reduction strategies. AI
