Carbon Capture and Storage Market Analysis 2020 Growth and Segmentation by 2023

Global Carbon Capture and Storage Market Scenario

Market Research Future (MRFR) has announced a new release on the global carbon capture and storage market. The report discusses the global carbon capture and storage market’s growth prospects over the forecast period from 2018 to 2023 based on the market’s historical growth trajectory and key drivers and restraints.

Carbon capture and storage is a technology used to retrieve carbon produced in a variety of activities and store it in safe sites such as underground rock formations and unused oil wells. This prevents the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus helping keep the environment clean. The three main stages of carbon capture and storage include capturing gaseous emissions and separating carbon dioxide from the overall gas mixture, transporting the carbon dioxide to the storage site through pipelines, ships, or trucks, and storing it in the aforementioned sites. Sites such as underground rock formations present the best solution for storing carbon dioxide in the long term, as they don’t allow the carbon dioxide to escape and assimilate it over time.

Competitive Landscape

Cansolv Technologies Inc (Canada), Aker Solutions (U.S.), NRG Energy (U.S.), Chevron Corporation (U.S.), Shell (U.S.), Fluor Corporation (U.S.), Japan CCS (Japan), Climeworks AG (Switzerland), Dakota Gasification Company (U.S.) and The Linde Group (Germany).

Segmental Analysis

Carbon Capture and Storage Market Analysis has been conducted on the basis of technology, application, end-use and type.

Based on type of technology, the market has been segmented into oxy fuel combustion, post combustion and pre-combustion. The pre-combustion segment accounts for a significant share of the market in terms of value. Pre-combustion CCS is a widely applied technology owing to its compatibility with gasification combined cycle power plants. Based on application, the market has been segmented into industrial, agriculture and EOR. The EOR segment is expected to remain highly attractive over the next couple of years. EOR is an excellent storage capacity and hence witnessing a rapid growth in demand. Based on end-use, the market has been segmented into chemical, oil and gas, iron steel, and others. Based on type, the market has been segmented into

Regional Analysis

On the basis of region, the global carbon capture and storage market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

North America is likely to hold a dominant share in the global carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period due to the widespread presence of a large number of CCS plants in the region. The U.S. alone holds 16 of the 22 operational or under-construction carbon capture and storage plants in the world and consequently has the highest storage capacity. The growing industrial sector in the U.S. and increasing carbon emissions during energy generation procedures are likely to drive the demand from the carbon capture and storage market in North America over the forecast period.

The Middle East and Africa could also emerge as a major player in the global carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period due to the presence of large carbon capture projects in Saudi Arabia and Algeria. Europe also holds a significant share in the global carbon capture and storage market due to the extensive oil and gas operations in the North Sea, which have opened up the possibility of carbon storage in oil wells in the region.
