Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies play a critical role in reducing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals, and power generation. This track explores carbon capture techniques, transportation infrastructure, geological storage options, and utilization pathways that convert captured CO₂ into valuable products. Scientific, technical, and economic considerations surrounding CCUS deployment are discussed, including scalability, efficiency, and environmental safety.

The track also examines policy incentives, regulatory frameworks, and market mechanisms that influence CCUS adoption worldwide. Integration with hydrogen production, bioenergy, and negative emission technologies is highlighted as a pathway toward deep decarbonization. Through global project examples and pilot initiatives, this track evaluates the long-term role of CCUS in achieving net-zero emissions while supporting industrial sustainability and climate goals.
