Why Carbon Management matters

1. Hard-to-abate Decarbonisation: CCS is critical for deep emissions reductions in heavy industries like cement, steel, and chemicals, where electrification alone cannot address process and high-temperature emissions.  
2. Net Zero and Residual Emissions: CCS is essential for reducing emissions at point sources and CDR for removing residual emissions from the air, as recognised by the IEA and IPCC in all credible pathways to achieving net zero.  
3. Deployment Acceleration: Climate strategies must shift focus from policy recognition to project delivery through clear regulations, infrastructure scaling, and investable frameworks.   
4. Inclusive Transitions: Over 60 countries now include Carbon Management in their NDCs, enabling developing economies to meet both industrial growth and decarbonisation targets.   
5. Technology Versatility and Economic Competitiveness: CCS, CDR, hydrogen, and sustainable fuels are interlinked, with shared carbon management infrastructure helping preserve industrial competitiveness in a net zero global economy.
