Technology Roadmap – Carbon Capture and Storage in Industrial Applications

This policy document includes a roadmap intended to pave the way for low-carbon industrial growth in developed and developing countries by providing a vision of industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) up to 2050. In particular, it undertakes an assessment of the potential for CCS in five industries that offer the most promise for early and/or large-scale application: high-purity CO2 sources, iron and steel, cement, refineries and biomass conversion. Its insights aim to help policy makers evaluate the benefits of CCS technology and hence make informed decisions. It also offers investors an assessment of the potential for CCS in industry.
