Carbon Capture and Storage Market Trends/Drivers:

Rising focus on climate change mitigation

There is a rise in the adoption of CCS due to the increasing focus on climate change mitigation. Climate change is recognized as one of the most concerning global challenges, with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and increasing sea-level, threatening ecosystems and human societies. As a result, countries worldwide are seeking effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. CCS plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation by capturing CO₂ emissions from various sources, such as power plants and industrial facilities. Apart from this, they prevent CO₂ emissions from being released into the atmosphere. Countries can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and achieve emission reduction targets by implementing these effective techniques.

Favorable government initiatives to combat climate change

There is a rise in the need to combat climate change and reduce emissions across the globe. Governing agencies of various countries are promoting the adoption of CCS by implementing stringent environmental regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms. In line with this, these regulations impose limits on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and often require industries to adopt cleaner technologies or offset their emissions through this method. Apart from this, the introduction of carbon taxes, cap-and-trade systems, and emission reduction targets encourage several industries to invest in this technique as part of their compliance strategies. Companies are incorporating this technique into their operations to meet regulatory requirements, avoid financial penalties, and reputational risks for businesses.

Growing popularity of corporate social responsibility

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a core component of modern business practices. Consumers, investors, and stakeholders are increasingly preferring companies that commit to environmental sustainability. In addition, integrating CCS into their operations allows companies to proactively address their carbon emissions and demonstrate their dedication to mitigating climate change. Businesses can improve their environmental reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers by reducing their carbon footprint through these techniques. Moreover, integrating sustainable practices into their operations enhances long-term viability and resilience that attracts socially responsible investors. This technique is becoming a powerful tool for companies to showcase their commitment to environmental sustainability.
