Defossilizing Industry: Considerations for Scaling-up Carbon Capture and Utilization Pathways

Defossilizing Industry: Considerations for Scaling-up Carbon Capture and Utilization Pathways

This paper examines how CCU can transform industrial emissions into valuable inputs like fuels, chemicals, and construction materials. It notes limited deployment (≈21 Mtpa in development) due to fragmented policies, financing gaps, and technical integration challenges. It highlights “valleys of death” blocking commercialization and the need for cross-sector partnerships. Policy clarity, durable market signals, and targeted support are essential for scaling CCU alongside broader decarbonization strategies.
