Carbon capture and storage is moving quickly from strategic ambition to investment reality. But as projects scale, misalignment across cost, regulation and risk is emerging as a material threat to bankability.
This report is designed for energy companies looking to move from concept to credible delivery. Based on the insights from 504 senior decision-makers, it reveals where confidence in CCS is not yet matched by readiness and what that gap means for FID timelines, regulatory compliance, long-term liability and investor confidence.
What the research reveals:
The findings reveal a landscape of both momentum and misalignment. While industry leaders broadly agree that CCS will be an established industry within the next decade, cost pressures, regulatory preparedness, and cross-chain coordination remain challenges to progress. Bridging these divides — between ambition and execution, optimism and risk — will determine whether CCS can fulfill its promise as a viable, investable pillar of global decarbonisation.
