Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies involve the capture of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO₂ via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage underground.

The report presents data on carbon sequestration from the Land Use, Land-Use change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector and from enhanced oil recovery in the United States.
This bill would promote the development and deployment of CCUS technologies, including by making related pipelines and direct air capture projects eligible for guaranteed loan support from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Article 2 of this regulatory proposal sets the EU 2050 climate-neutrality objectives, recognizing that removals of greenhouse gases will be needed to compensate for emissions from sectors where decarbonization is the most challenging.
Royal Dutch Shell plans to offset its own emissions by trapping as much carbon as its business operations cause through new carbon capture technologies or through nature-based solutions such as forestation.
Consumers Energy announced a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, in part using strategies such as carbon capture and sequestration and large-scale tree planting.
BP has pledged to reach net-zero emissions across all operations by 2050 and plans to use CCUS and natural climate sinks in the effort to achieve this goal.
