Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage (CCUS)
Gain insight across the carbon capture and storage value chain, supporting organisations across the energy sector, including those operating in the oil and gas industry and wider energy transition markets.
Our research provides detailed intelligence on carbon capture and storage projects, helping oil and gas companies understand how emissions can be reduced while maintaining reliable energy production.
Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage Insights for the Energy Sector
Understanding Carbon Capture and Storage in the Energy Transition
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key technology supporting the global energy transition, enabling industries to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to meet growing energy demand.
For organisations operating across the oil and gas sector, CCS provides a practical pathway to reduce emissions from existing operations, particularly within the upstream oil and gas industry, where production activities remain essential to global energy supply.
By capturing carbon at source and storing it safely underground, CCS supports long-term emissions reduction while allowing continued use of oil and natural gas as part of the evolving global energy mix.
Carbon Capture Market Intelligence
We provide market intelligence on carbon capture and storage projects across Northwest Europe, alongside global analysis of subsea infrastructure and storage activity.
Our solutions enable organisations to gain clarity on project development, investment and commercial opportunities across the energy markets.
We deliver insight into:
- Project capacities, timelines and development stages
- Partnerships between oil and gas companies and energy developers
- Investment trends across the energy sector
- Infrastructure requirements, including pipelines and subsea infrastructure
- The integration of CCS with existing oil and gas production systems
This helps organisations understand how CCS fits within the broader upstream oil and gas sector and supports long-term decarbonisation strategies.
Linking CCS to Oil & Gas Operations
Carbon capture and storage is closely connected to existing operations across the oil and gas industry, particularly within offshore environments where infrastructure and subsurface expertise are already well established.
Many upstream oil and gas companies are leveraging their experience in reservoir management and offshore engineering to develop storage solutions. Skills developed across energy upstream and gas upstream operations are directly applicable to CO₂ transport and storage.
CCS also supports the continued use of existing oil and gas reserves, allowing organisations to balance production with emissions reduction while adapting to changing regulatory and market conditions.
Our specialists regularly publish insights on developments across carbon capture, storage projects and the wider energy transition.

Global Energy and Emissions Context
Carbon capture and storage plays a critical role in balancing continued energy production with the need to reduce emissions across the global oil and gas industry.
As demand for energy grows, industries must continue to produce energy at scale while reducing environmental impact. CCS enables emissions from oil and gas production and industrial processes to be captured and stored, supporting long-term sustainability goals.
For organisations operating across the global energy market, understanding how CCS interacts with existing offshore oil and gas operations is essential. It provides a pathway to maintain reliable energy supply while transitioning towards lower carbon systems.

Carbon capture and storage sits within a wider transformation across the global energy sector, where regions such as the Middle East and the European Union continue to shape policy, investment and development.
Traditional systems still play a critical role in power generation and the wider power sector, supporting industries that rely on hydrocarbons extracted as raw material from each oil field. These resources are refined into petroleum products, forming a key part of global supply chains.
For energy companies and each major oil company, balancing emissions reduction with operational performance is essential. Fluctuations in energy prices and evolving regulation, including frameworks linked to the Paris Agreement, continue to influence both short term decisions and long-term strategy.
As part of the energy transition, CCS supports efforts to generate electricity and energy more efficiently while reducing emissions. It provides a cost effective way to decarbonise operations across a wide range of industrial applications, particularly where full electrification is not yet viable.
From a historical perspective, the shift mirrors changes seen since the industrial revolution, where energy systems have continually evolved to meet demand. Today, CCS enables continued production of oil and gas while improving environmental performance and supporting energy security across global markets.
CCS is an essential climate mitigation tool. And all sustainable modelling shows that significant scale of CCS is required to reach this goal.
