Welcome to the CCUS in brief where we bring you quick, responsive opinion and analysis on all that's going on globally within the carbon capture, utilisation and storage industry. The report provides rolling coverage of events, with stories posted to this page soon after any announcement, where possible. Our analysis is driven by our newly launched Lens CCUS platform, where we house our CCUS project, subsurface and emissions datasets which are updated on a weekly basis.
