Putting the U in CCUS : overview of emerging pathways in carbon utilisation

Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) is one of the more mature approaches to carbon neutrality, yet simultaneously one of the least understood or categorically defined. This paper intends to provide a broad-based overview of CCU, as well as a deeper dive that will incorporate scalability, market dynamics and enabling regulatory frameworks for emerging technologies. The role that CCU plays in the larger carbon management landscape is also explored along with an assessment of what may lie ahead, including opportunities and challenges.
