Oil & gas is the dominating end-use industry in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market. The use of CCUS in natural gas processing is one of the major drivers of the CCUS market. Various natural gas processing CCUS projects in MEA, North America, and Europe is key support or the high market size in the oil & gas industry. Increasing usage of EOR in the oil & gas industry is also driving the growth of oil & gas industry in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market.

In 2019, there were more than 24 million tons of CO2 that was captured, stored, and utilized from the oil & gas industry, and the majority of it was extracted from natural gas processing plants. As per the EIA, natural gas generation will grow at a rate of approximately 2.7% per year between 2012 and 2040, which will account for nearly 30% of the total worldwide energy generation by 2040. The deployment of CCUS in this sector will help in creating a viable pathway for a sustainable environment.

COVID-19 has merely put any effect on the market, which is expected to grow at a significant rate in 2020 as well, owing to continuous investment in the field of carbon capture and sequestration. Currently, CCUS is being largely used across natural gas processing plants and power generation plants. The operations of these plants were not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; as a result, lockdown imposed due to the pandemic posed very minimal impact on the CCUS market.

Current and upcoming projects of CCUS in the APAC region have created an excellent gateway toward the adoption of CCUS. China and Australia are the early adopters of CCUS in the APAC region. The current line-up of carbon capture and sequestration projects in these countries is expected to create an immense opportunity for the companies operating in the carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration ecosystem. Other than Australia and China, South Korea and India are also focusing on adopting CCUS. For instance, South Korea has already taken a step toward CCUS in the Korea CCS 1&2 project, which is currently in an early development stage and is expected to be operational by 2021. India, in 2016, initiated the operation of a carbon capture and utilization system, which was capable of capturing 60,000 tons of C02 per year from coal-fired power plants.

North America is the largest carbon capture, utilization, and storage market owing to the presence of multiple large-scale CCS facilities in the US and Canada. Century plant, Shute Creek Plant, BPundaryy Dam, Petra Nova Plant, ENID Fertiliser plant are some few projects that are operational in eth US and Canada. The carbon capture, utilization, and storage market in North America is expected to be driven by rising environmental concerns in the region. The US Supreme Court proposed a carbon trading scheme, named the US Clean Power Plan in February 2016. This scheme aims at curbing carbon pollution from power plants in the US. Canada, especially Western Canada, is dependent on fossil fuel industries. According to the US EPA, greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities increased by 7% in the country from 1990 to 2014. The Canadian government has been taking initiatives to reduce carbon emission levels.
