Sessions with this speaker:
Building a fully integrated CCUS value chain is essential to its success.
How do different types of emitters shape the CCUS value chain?
A successful CCUS value chain must accommodate a wide range of emission sources, from large industrial hubs to mid-sized regional clusters and smaller, distributed emitters. This session will explore the characteristics of these different sources, the infrastructure needed to transport and store their CO₂, and how collaboration across sectors can accelerate deployment.

With a diverse set of emitters, scalable and flexible carbon capture technologies are essential. This session will showcase advancements in capture solutions, from high-capacity systems to modular technologies. It will also highlight how digitalization, AI, and automation can improve efficiency, optimize operations, and reduce costs across the CCUS value chain.
This session dives into the barriers hindering the widespread adoption of CCUS technologies. From financial constraints to policy uncertainties, speakers will address the risks involved and explore how to make CCS bankable.
Discussions will also cover innovative business models, investment opportunities, and how government and private sectors can share responsibilities to accelerate implementation.

This session will explore industrial applications, including biogenic CO₂, and its role in the circular economy. We’ll discuss how CO₂ utilization supports climate goals while creating business opportunities, emphasizing the cost benefits of making products instead of just storing CO₂.
We will provide insights into market dynamics and trends, helping to contextualize the strategic decisions companies face in this rapidly evolving landscape. What drives companies to take the lead in implementing carbon capture solutions?
This session will focus on the motivations, challenges, and opportunities faced by key emitters such as energy producers, cement manufacturers, and heavy industry players.
Early movers will share their experiences, highlighting the risks and rewards of adopting carbon capture technologies, and whether being a frontrunner could lead to a competitive edge—or disadvantage.
