Global Status Report 2022

The momentum behind Carbon capture and storage (CCS) continues to build, with significant progress around the world from countries and companies alike. However, ambition must now translate to urgent, broad, and large-scale action . The report provides detailed analyses of the global project pipeline, international policy, carbon markets, carbon removals, and the evolution of storage. In addition, four regional overviews highlight the rapid development of CCS across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the UK, and the MENA region.
