Overview: Market Research Future (MRFR) has announced a new release on the global carbon capture and storage market. The report discusses the global carbon capture and storage market’s growth prospects over the forecast period from 2018 to 2023 based on the market’s historical growth trajectory and key drivers and restraints. Carbon capture and storage is a technology used to retrieve carbon produced in a variety of activities and store it in safe sites such as underground rock formations and unused oil wells. This prevents the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus helping keep the environment clean. The three main stages of carbon capture and storage include capturing gaseous emissions and separating carbon dioxide from the overall gas mixture, transporting the carbon dioxide to the storage site through pipelines, ships, or trucks, and storing it in the aforementioned sites. Sites such as underground rock formations present the best solution for storing carbon dioxide in the long term, as they don’t allow the carbon dioxide to escape and assimilate it over time. The growing demand to limit the emission of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere is the key driver for the global carbon capture and storage market. While carbon capture and storage has always been considered too expensive for mainstream application, recent advances have made the process much more manageable in terms of financial outlay. This is likely to drive the carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period. The global carbon capture and storage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 8% over the forecast period.
Segmentation: The global carbon capture and storage market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. By type, the global carbon capture and storage market is segmented into pre-combustion, postcombustion, and oxy fuel combustion. The pre-combustion segment is likely to hold a dominant share in the global carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period due to the widespread applicability of the technology in gasification combined cycle power plants. By application, the global carbon capture and storage market is segmented into enhanced oil recovery (EOR), agriculture, and industrial. EOR is likely to hold a dominant share in the global carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period due to its suitability as a carbon reservoir. By end use, the carbon capture and storage industry report is segmented into the iron and steel industry, oil and gas industry, chemical industry, and others.
Regional Analysis: On the basis of region, the global carbon capture and storage market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is likely to hold a dominant share in the global carbon capture and storage market over the forecast period due to the widespread presence of a large number of CCS plants in the region. The U.S. alone holds 16 of the 22 operational or under-construction carbon capture and storage plants in the world and consequently has the highest storage capacity.
