Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Regulatory and Technology Reports
Study for CCE Knowledge Hub
Regulatory Report
The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of the CCUS regulatory landscape globally and in the MENA region. This will be achieved through (i) assessing global and MENA climate ambitions, (ii) introducing CCUS regulations and their importance in mitigating climate change, (iii) assessing successful global regulatory frameworks and policies, (iv) assessing successful MENA regulatory frameworks and policies and (v) assessing opportunities and challenges related to CCUS regulatory landscape.
The report begins by assessing the global and regional climate ambitions and targets to mitigate climate change. It then continues with an overview of climate ambitions specifically related to CCUS globally and in the MENA region. Moreover, the report develops a global and regional regulatory landscape assessment, with a focus on CCUS. The assessment includes an overview of current and planned regulatory frameworks applicable to CCUS. It also covers the identification of global best practices and their implications on CCUS regulations for the region. The final objective of the report is to look at the different opportunities and challenges related to the CCUS regulatory landscape and identify areas of improvement and opportunities for collaboration.
Overall, the report aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the CCUS regulatory landscape and its potential to support global and regional climate ambitions. By exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with CCUS regulations, it aims to serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders interested in promoting sustainable development, encouraging technology development, and eventually achieving climate ambitions.

The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology globally and in the MENA region, and its role in mitigating climate change. This will be achieved through (i) a global outlook on climate ambitions, (ii) an introduction to CCUS technologies and processes (iii) a valuation of potential contributions of CCUS to MENA ambitions, (iv) a global and MENA region CCUS market assessment, (v) a valuation of potential contribution of CCUS to MENA ambitions, (vi) an assessment of opportunities and challenges related to CCUS, and (vii) a definition of the role of the Circular Carbon Economy Regional Collaboration (CCERC) to create CCUS collaboration opportunities.
The report begins by assessing the global and regional climate ambitions and efforts in mitigating climate change. It continues with an overview of climate ambitions specifically related to CCUS globally and in the MENA region. Then, it provides a synopsis on the different capture technologies, transport, usage, and storage methods. In addition, the report provides an economic assessment of CCUS and discusses the cost and benefits associated with the technology. The report assesses the potential contribution of CCUS in reducing emissions and reaching MENA climate targets. This is achieved through analyzing the current and projected state of emissions in the MENA region and assessing the potential role of CCUS in reducing the projected emissions, with a focus on hard-to-abate sectors. Moreover, the report develops a global and regional market assessment of CCUS. The market assessment includes an overview of current and planned projects in CCUS with specific case studies of successful projects and best practices. It also includes an approximated estimation of the current and projected market size of the leading technologies in addition to a stakeholder landscape analysis across the CCUS value chain.
The objective of the report is to outline the different opportunities and challenges related to CCUS in addition to the role of the CCERC in creating collaboration opportunities.
Overall, the report aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of CCUS technology and its potential to support global and regional climate ambitions. By exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with CCUS deployment, it aims to serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders interested in promoting sustainable development.
