Rethinking CO2

Why carbon capture will play a crucial role in reaching climate targets and how a CO2 ecosystem can be established

Addressing climate change led to the perception of carbon dioxide (CO2) being mainly negative. This problem-oriented view concentrates on the elimination of CO2 as a harmful climate gas. Carbon capture is generally viewed critically these days, even though climate scientists point to the need for carbon capture and carbon removal. New ready-to-implement technologies and new regulation offer opportunities in the CO2 market such as the safe storing of CO2 or its use as a raw material in a circular economy. With governments putting a price tag on carbon, but customers also paying to be carbon neutral or paying for CO2 as a raw material, there is an expected market potential for both storage and utilization that might reach oil market dimensions in 2050.

In this report, we have analyzed how to create value from CO2 and what it needs to unlock the German carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) market.
