What moves the needle: the biggest sensitivities in CCUS project costs
Join Wood Mackenzie on Thursday, 3rd December, 2026 for a discussion and analysis of the CCUS project cost landscape. Using our recently updated CCS Cost Calculator and Lens Carbon platform, we’ll explore key cost drivers across the value chain, with a special focus on our transport cost capabilities.
Key topics
- The CCUS cost landscape: how have recent geopolitical events shaped the current cost environment? What factors are driving project costs today, and how do we expect costs to evolve over time?
- Transport costs: what drives pipeline and shipping costs, how different are they, and what conditions determine the most cost-effective transport solution?
- Building project costs across the value chain: using our CCS Cost Calculator, we’ll gradually build out our own project with associated costs, highlighting the key cost drivers and sensitivities that have the greatest impact on overall project economics
