Its main aim is to cut through common misconceptions and provide decision-makers with a practical overview of the technology, infrastructure, economics and policy conditions needed for credible deployment. The Proposal is available at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbcsd.org\/resources\/informing-the-deployment-of-carbon-capture-utilization-and-storage\/?submitted=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It shows that <strong>CCUS is no longer only a theoretical solution<\/strong>. The Report states that around 51 MtCO2 per year of capture capacity is already operating globally, with another 21 MtCO<sub>2<\/sub> under construction and much larger volumes planned by 2030. It also emphasizes that modern capture systems commonly achieve capture rates above 90%, while transport and geological storage are supported by existing industrial practice, monitoring and regulation.<\/p>\n<a class=\"mwm-aal-item\" name=\"the-key-conclusions-of-the-report-are-as-follows\"><\/a><h3>The key conclusions of the Report are as follows:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CCUS is presented as a practical and already deployable solution<\/strong>, especially for hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals and refining. The REport emphasizes that CCUS is no longer just a theoretical option, but a technology with growing project pipelines and operational experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The main barriers are not primarily technical, but commercial, infrastructural and regulatory.<\/strong> Successful deployment of CCUS requires coordination across the full chain from capture to transport to permanent storage, supported by stable policy frameworks and viable business models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent common misconceptions exist about CCUS.<\/strong> Modern systems can achieve high capture rates, the energy penalty does not erase the climate benefit, CO<sub>2<\/sub> transport can be managed safely, and geological storage can be secure and durable under proper regulation and monitoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Permanent geological storage is identified as essential for durable climate impact.<\/strong> CO<sub>2<\/sub> utilization may create value, but in many cases it only delays emissions rather than preventing them permanently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CCUS should complement, not replace, other decarbonization pathways.<\/strong> The study recommends an \u201cabatement first\u201d approach, meaning CCUS should be used where it delivers a clear and credible benefit and where better alternatives such as electrification, efficiency or renewables are limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In conclusion, the Report <strong>calls for shared CO<sub>2<\/sub> networks, interoperable standards, transparent reporting and stronger market frameworks<\/strong> so that CCUS can move from isolated projects toward scalable, commercially sustainable deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 26 February 2026, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), in collaboration with ARUP, released a report \u201cInforming the Deployment of &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wbcsd-issued-a-report-on-deployment-of-carbon-capture-utilization-and-storage\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>\u010c\u00edst v\u00edce<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","iawp_total_views":0},"categories":[577],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19804"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19804"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19805,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19804\/revisions\/19805"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cbcsd.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
