Geopolitical risks are pushing businesses and government alike to shift goals and finance availability from energy transition to energy security. Most decarbonisation technologies are competing for funds both internally within departments and externally. Low-carbon budgets for many large oil majors are being slashed while they await commercial viability for technologies they are betting as future growth drivers.
In this context, our carbon management team takes a step back to evaluate the long-term outlook for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and the carbon offset market, and the support these sectors draw from each other for enabling growth.
While both sectors face elevated uncertainty, we explore whether this provides cause to pause or presents opportunities for forward-thinking companies. Our recently published market outlook reports conclude that near-term trajectories will be affected by various external factors, though the interlinkages between CCUS and carbon offsets will remain as both markets grow substantially in the long-term.
Join our panel of research experts who will exchange views on prospects and the support that CCUS and carbon offsets draw from each other and find out more about the key drivers and working assumptions shaping our base case scenarios, and the risks which could cause reality to deviate from these.
Session Overview
This session brings together analysts from Wood Mackenzie's CCUS and carbon markets teams to share data and qualitative insights from our market forecasts and is critically relevant for those who are looking at viability drivers for CCUS projects and offsets as a mechanism to drive growth.
Key topics
- The CCUS opportunity: Analysis to cover our outlook, key areas of growth covering engineered removals, storage and utilisation opportunities, and support that carbon pricing and incentives will lend to CCUS growth.
- The future of carbon offsets: We will explore how the expanding role of offsets in national and international corporate decarbonisation strategies is reshaping the carbon offset market and evaluate what offtake agreements and project investment reveal about sectoral trajectories.
- The integrated growth conundrum: Compliance and offset carbon market growth can play a vital role in driving durable carbon removal to scale through CCUS-enabled engineered solutions.
Our experts will review the synergies, opportunities and disharmony across these areas to provide their view on the long-term outlook for carbon markets, CCUS and their linkages.
