    Carbon Management/Decarbonization

    According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is required to limit warming to 1.5 °C. The technology is critical for difficult-to-decarbonize sectors like heavy industry, and emissions-mitigation scenarios assume a significant ramp up in CO2 abatement from CDR technologies, particularly from Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). What is the outlook for CCUS and DAC? Which business models make CCUS and DAC commercially viable? How can carbon markets be leveraged to make CDR technologies more attractive? How big of an impact is the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act having?
