New York Climate Week – Financing CCUS: Creating Business Models

Join us at this invite-only New York Climate Week Side Event co-hosted by the Global CCS Institute and the CEM CCUS Initiative. 

CCUS, including carbon removals through BECCS and DACCS, has been recognized as a crucial climate mitigation technology that plays an important role in achieving climate neutrality. Capital investment of around 1 trillion will be needed globally over the next 30 years to bring CCUS to the level where it can fulfill its potential as a reliable solution to help the world reach net-zero emissions. To achieve the needed level of deployment, various types of capital need to invest in CCUS. So far the majority of CCUS projects are financed through corporate finance and governmental support.

This event will bring together stakeholders from the finance sector, CCUS project developers and governments to share insights and build collective understanding on possible policy actions and emerging business models that would be conducive to scaling up CCUS deployments.
