This webinar will present the non-technical challenges that Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) faces across social, economic, political and legal dimensions. Some of these are cross-cutting – for example, when it comes to public trust, regulation, MRV, and accounting, where the clarity of responsibilities and coordination through private contracts needs to be in place. The value-chain partners and regulatory entities involved need to find and operationalise common approaches.
Another example is biomass processing, which is now being addressed in the regulatory landscape, and may alter the incentives for industries to engage in CCUS. At the same time, the EU signals the ineligibility of fossil CO₂ sources for capture. For cases of international value-chains, bilateral state agreements can help give direction and certainty alongside private contracts. Progress must be proactively communicated to the broader public to highlight the climate benefits of CCUS in each individual case.
