Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS): The Oil & Gas Industry's Path to Net-Zero Emissions

Author(s) Babula Reddy Ambati
Country United States
Abstract As countries set national net zero goals, and global carbon markets debate how to best achieve decarburization, CCS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) is one of the most promising technologies to cut emissions from hard-to-abate sectors including the oil and gas industry, which is one of the largest emitters in the world and under increasing pressure to meet its carbon commitments. CCUS provides industry a means to continue supplying energy whilst significantly decreasing its environmental footprint.
This study examines the potential of CCUS to support the oil and gas sector's 'Net Zero' transition, and builds on existing literature on technical, economic, policy and implementation challenges to CCUS. The analysis reveals that the industry has several potential strengths when it comes to scaling up CCUS, including significant experience and knowledge of subsurface operations, existing networks of infrastructure, and investment potential. The efficiency and commercial viability of the project are further enhanced through innovations in carbon utilization technologies, AI based monitoring and new carbon-use pathways.
However, there are significant obstacles to widespread use, including the need for large investments, regulatory uncertainty, limitations in infrastructure and acceptance, and these are still holding back widespread adoption. The study reveals that CCUS will be a key player in the global net zero future and a balanced clean energy transition, yet policy coordination and ongoing innovation is required to ensure the technology becomes a reality and stakeholders can continue to innovate and collaborate to invest in R&D.
