Carbon Capture and Storage
Coverage from Drilled, ProPublica, and others
Carbon capture and storage includes capturing carbon dioxide at industrial facilities, transporting it for use or long-term geological storage, and removing it directly from the air.
These approaches are considered for residual emissions from sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals, and refining, while direct air capture and mineralization target carbon already in the atmosphere. Projects such as Norway’s Sleipner and Canada’s Quest illustrate geological storage, and industrial hubs can connect capture sites to shared infrastructure. Their climate value depends on costs, energy use, reliable monitoring and verification, policy and financing, and how they complement measures such as efficiency, electrification, and renewable power.

If you read one thing
Its broad overview frames CCS as an option for residual industrial emissions whose climate value depends on durable storage, verification, infrastructure, and complementary decarbonization.
Best explainer
It explains why a large project pipeline does not guarantee delivery, connecting investment decisions to storage costs, shared infrastructure, permits, finance, and verification.
The evidence
Its quantitative comparisons put current deployment and projected growth in context while showing how capture performance, upstream emissions, and storage integrity affect climate benefits.
The evidence
It adds concrete reporting on storage leaks, monitoring, oversight, and long-term liability—issues distinct from the broader scale and investment constraints.
Key Issues
A wide gap between planned and operating scale
Operating capture capacity remains small relative to the gigaton-scale deployment assumed in many climate pathways. Although the announced project pipeline is large, many projects lack final investment decisions, and reporting also describes shortfalls against climate-aligned demand.
Projects depend on finance and coordinated infrastructure
Moving projects from announcement to delivery depends on aligning capture facilities with transport, storage access, permits, financing, and credible long-term revenue or risk-sharing. Public support is helping some industrial projects proceed, while financing gaps and allocation of project risks have stalled or weakened others.
Storage assurance and oversight shape climate credibility
The climate value of CCS hinges on demonstrated capture performance, reliable monitoring, durable storage, and clear long-term liability. Reported leaks and concerns about oversight and operator responsibility make verification and governance active constraints on deployment, not just technical details.
Key Numbers
10 years
operator liability retention period in Wyoming
“Wyoming requires operators to retain liability for only 10 years. Alabama legislation passed in 2024 allows companies to transfer liability after a decade”
10 records
peak annual patent filings
“Filing peaked at 10 records in 2010 and has not matched that level since.”
18 months
typical publication lag after filing
“The article cautions that publication typically lags filing by about 18 months, so the latest years are incomplete and should not be interpreted as a definitive decline.”
500 million tonnes annually tonnes per year
announced CCS pipeline capacity
“The overall pipeline exceeds 500 million tonnes annually, while the IEA found that roughly 90% of projects announced for operation by 2035 still lacked final investment decisions.”
64 million tonnes of CO2 per year tonnes CO2 per year
operating capture capacity
“The Global CCS Institute counted 77 commercial CCS projects operating and 47 under construction, with operating capture capacity around 64 million tonnes of CO2 per year.”

The Story So Far
No material change
No new member articles were supplied, so there is no evidence of a material change since the prior state.
Previously
Carbon capture and storage is being advanced for industrial emissions and, increasingly, proposed power projects, while developers and governments work through high costs, storage access, transport infrastructure, and financing. The technology is often presented as an option for emissions that are difficult to eliminate in sectors such as cement, steel, and chemicals, but current deployment remains small relative to climate-pathway needs. Its contribution depends on verified permanent storage and complementing—not replacing—efficiency, electrification, and clean energy.
History
10/05/2026
A specific European project has entered the picture: Yara plans capture at its Sluiskil fertilizer plant, with CO₂ intended for storage in Norway and support from the European Commission. The broader framing remains consistent with CCS as a complement to direct emissions cuts.
10/05/2026
The current version largely reinforces the existing account: shared CO2 networks remain central, while cost, limited capacity, and the contested climate role constrain expectations.
