SYNOPSIS   

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is increasingly recognised as a necessary decarbonisation pathway for hard-to-abate sectors. However, beyond technology readiness, the successful deployment of CCUS depends heavily on governance structures, policy clarity, and system-level coordination across the value chain.

This talk explores CCUS from a practical and governance-led perspective, highlighting how policy, ownership models, risk allocation, and infrastructure planning shape real-world feasibility. The session provides an overview of the CCUS value chain through a systems lens and examines common challenges that arise when capture, transport, and storage are developed in isolation. The session aims to equip engineers and practitioners with a clearer understanding of where CCUS stands today and what considerations are critical when moving from concept to implementation.
