Global Carbon Capture and Storage Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Carbon Capture and Storage Market size is projected to grow from USD 7.98 billion to USD 81.86 billion, demonstrating a CAGR of over 19.8% during the forecast period, between 2025 and 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of carbon capture and storage is assessed at USD 9.26 billion.
The market growth is impelled by rise in the emission of carbon dioxide. In 2022, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial activities and the burning of energy increased by about 0.8%, or approximately 320 Mt, to a new record-high of about 35 Gt. Hence, with the guidance of carbon capture and storage this growing emission is estimated to be captured. After being captured, the CO2 may be compressed into a liquid or left in a gaseous condition to be delivered to a storage facility through a ship, road, or pipeline. This stored CO2 could be also utilized by improved coalbed methane recovery (ECBM) in order to extract methane gas.

Carbon Capture and Storage Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Demand for Power Generation
An estimated 580 million terajoules of energy are consumed worldwide each year. This is equivalent to 13865 million tonnes of oil or 580 million trillion joules. However, electricity is one of the major contributors to global CO2 emissions. Hence, it is crucial to swiftly decarbonize this sector of the economy in order to achieve net-zero emissions. As a result, the need for CCS is growing. Power stations using CCS would contribute to the stable and robust low-carbon grid of the future.
- Growing Need to Recover Oil
The stored CO2 is injected in order to extract the remaining crude oil. These remaining crude oils are encountered as the injected CO2 passes through the pore spaces in the rock. As the crude oil and CO2 combine, the viscosity of the oil is reduced, it is pressurized, it is mobilized, and a concentrated oil bank is created that is swept to the producing wells. Oil and gas businesses are able to obtain oil in this method that would otherwise remain in the ground.
- Surge in the Use of CCS in Producing Fertilizers
The synthesis of ammonia generates high-quality carbon dioxide (CO2), which is also a necessary ingredient in the creation of urea fertilizer. As a result, the industry catches CO2 released during the ammonia manufacturing process and reuses it throughout the urea manufacturing procedure.
Challenges
- Large Price of Carbon Capture and Storage
- Growing Risk to Environment - The primary argument against CCS is that, rather than implementing renewable energy options, it may increase dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and coal mining. Regarding potential storage leakage, there is even another issue. Explosions, earthquakes, and any unfavorable consequences on the environment are additional concerns. Such elements have emerged as the primary CCS challenge that limits market expansion.

Carbon Capture and Storage Segmentation
Technology (Pre-Combustion Capture, Post Combustion Capture, OXY-Fuel Combustion Capture, Industrial Separation Capture)
The post combustion capture segment in the carbon capture and storage market is poised to witness substantial demand by the end of 2037. In post combustion capture, CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere after fossil fuels are burned in power plants. At power plants or other point sources, CO2 is extracted from flue gases. Additional industrial applications are currently using the technology. Since PCC can often be integrated into already-existing industrial units and power stations without significantly affecting the original facility, post-combustion recapture is the most common research focus. For both existing and new power plants, post-combustion capture provides significant operational flexibility (partial refit, zero to full capture operation) and can adapt to market conditions.
End User Industry (Food & Beverages, Manufacturing Sector, Coal & Biomass Power Plants, Iron & Steel, Oil & Gas Sector, Chemical Industries)
Carbon capture and storage market from the oil & gas sector segment is set to dominate approximately 30% share by 2037. The oil and gas sector has expanded as a result of a rising need for both natural gas and crude oil across multiple sectors, boosting the market growth. Moreover, the development of carbon capture and storage projects could be greatly aided by the expanding investments in the oil sector to fulfill rising energy demands while focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
