Defossilizing Industry: Considerations for scaling-up carbon capture and utilization pathways
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) could turn harmful greenhouse gas emissions from essential but hard-to-abate sectors into valuable carbon-based products — if challenges can be overcome.
In our report Defossilizing Industry: Considerations for Scaling-up Carbon Capture and Utilization Pathways, we assess the potential role of CCU in a sustainable industrial transition. Created in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, it looks at the current CCU project pipeline and utilization pathways and analyses the existing policy and financial barriers to CCU, before setting out a potential way forward.
Join our webinar panelists as they share their perspectives and insights on the report's key themes.

Key themes we will discuss during the webinar:
- Fragmented and inconsistent policy frameworks: A lack of consistency across jurisdictions and CCU pathways makes it hard for first movers to identify clear opportunity, while policies that favour sequestration can act as a disincentive for utilization.
- ‘Valleys of death’: As with many new technologies, long development timelines, high capital requirements and immature business models with unclear routes to revenue create barriers to accessing early-stage investment.
- The need for cross-sectoral collaboration: To scale nascent technology and raise awareness, CCU developers need partnerships with industry to access infrastructure, expertise and market channels; however, the complexity of testing and integration can impede collaboration.
