As of 2024, approximately 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) were captured annually by operational CCUS facilities. This accounts for roughly 0.1 percent of global CO₂ emissions. Should facilities in various stages of development advance, the CO₂ capture capacity of large-scale CCUS facilities would reach some 435 MtCO₂ by 2030. However, this would still leave a gap of roughly 600 MtCO₂ to be on track with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario.
Capacity of current and planned large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) facilities worldwide from 2020 to 2030, by stage
(in MtCO₂ per year)
NZE = Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Includes large-scale projects with a capture capacity over 100 000 t per year (1 000 t per year for DAC). Capture projects for CO2 use are included as long as CO2 is used in fuels, chemicals, polymers, building materials, or for yield boosting. Within planned CCUS industrial hubs, only identified CO2 capture projects are included (not the full potential capture capacity of industrial hubs for which capture sources are not specified).
