GLOBAL CARBON & STORAGE MARKET WORTH $3,338M IN 2016

Monday 8 August 2016, Amsterdam

The new report on the Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Market indicates that despite some headwinds, the global CCS market will achieve a value  of $3,338m in 2016.

The lead analyst of the report commented: "The Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) market is currently facing many barriers. The costs of deployment are high, there are significant gaps in regulation and legal frameworks, and there remains concern over long-term storage and leakage. This is complicated further by a distinct lack of a marketplace for the captured CO2 as emissions legislation is currently too weak and carbon prices are presently too low to incentivize a transition to CCS. This has resulted in project cancellations and delays worldwide.

There is nonetheless significant promise to the market. R&D for the technology is active and the commitments made at the Paris Climate Conference are giving a new impetus to the development of CCS. The multiplication of cap-and-trade schemes in several countries, including China, and the rising demand for CO2 EOR will transform the economics behind CCS Projects. As CCS technology becomes less and less reliant on direct public funding, substantial growth will be seen in North America, Australia, China, as well as parts of Europe, the Middle East and Brazil. However, more effective legislation, large-scale integrated demonstration projects, increased funding opportunities and a higher carbon tax will still be required for the CCS market to reach its full potential."

The 212 page report contains 214 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the carbon capture & storage market.
