FOREWORD

There is an urgent need for innovative, new technologies

to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate

change and meet net-zero targets. Carbon Capture and

Storage (CCS) covers a range of technologies that will be

crucial in supporting these global eorts.

The uptake of CCS is growing at an unprecedented

rate. While early CCS projects targeted easier to capture

emissions sources, projects further into the energy

transition need to address harder to abate emissions

that are more expensive and challenging to address.

Technological advancements are essential to improving

the economics and ensuring the successful application of

CCS to these more challenging emissions sources.

This year’s Technology Compendium expands on the

inaugural version in all categories with several new

technologies. One of the key advancements is the

development of new and improved methods for capturing

carbon dioxide, including several new technologies

utilizing calcium looping and metal organic frameworks

(MOFs). For transport and storage, new technologies

focused on robust design and monitoring are supporting

the need to provide safe and optimized transport and

storage infrastructure. This highlights the ongoing work

to develop technologies to improve energy eciency,

reduce costs, and improve infrastructure performance for

future CCS projects.

The year’s Technology Compendium continues to

showcase the breadth and depth of commercially-

available CCS technologies worldwide. We look forward

to seeing further growth and development of CCS

technologies in coming years as we continue to ﬁght the

threat of climate change.
