Carbon capture and storage is moving from an expensive climate solution of last resort to a commercially viable decarbonisation option – supported by government subsidies, carbon credit markets, and industrial emitter demand for emissions reduction pathways that do not require operational shutdown. Direct air capture companies, point-source carbon capture technology providers, carbon sequestration project developers, and utilisation technology companies are all evaluating new market entry opportunities as policy support and carbon pricing create commercial viability. GreyRadius helps CCS businesses validate government and industrial buyer demand, assess project feasibility, navigate regulatory frameworks, and raise capital.
Why now? Government CCS support programmes are creating unprecedented commercial momentum – the US IRA Section 45Q tax credit, EU Innovation Fund CCS support, and Gulf CCS investment programmes are all creating project economics that were not viable without subsidy. The carbon capture infrastructure being deployed in 2024–2030 will define the industrial decarbonisation supply chains of the next thirty years.
Global carbon capture capacity needs to reach 1 billion tonnes annually by 2050 to meet Paris Agreement targets – current installed capacity is 45 million tonnes, representing a 20x scale-up requirement that creates enormous investment opportunity.
Direct air capture costs are falling rapidly – leading DAC companies are targeting sub-$300 per tonne costs by 2030, approaching the range where voluntary carbon market demand and carbon tax exposure justify commercial deployment.
Industrial CCS hubs are emerging as the most capital-efficient deployment model – sharing transport and storage infrastructure across multiple industrial emitters reduces per-tonne CCS cost significantly versus standalone facilities.
Carbon capture and utilisation is creating product revenue streams – CO2 captured from industrial sources is being used to produce synthetic fuels, building materials, and food ingredients, creating additional revenue on top of carbon credit income.
If you recognise your situation below, we can help.
CCS project opportunity assessment
You are evaluating a carbon capture project and need a market assessment covering regulatory framework, government subsidy availability, carbon credit market demand, and geological storage opportunity.
Industrial emitter partnership identification
You need to identify industrial emitters – cement, steel, oil and gas – that are actively seeking CCS partnerships to manage their decarbonisation obligations.
Government programme and subsidy access
You need to understand CCS support programmes, tax credits, and infrastructure co-investment opportunities in your target market.
GTM for CCS technology
You have a carbon capture technology or utilisation system and need a go-to-market strategy covering industrial buyer and project developer acquisition.
Raising capital for a CCS venture
You are raising investment for a CCS company or project and need a pitch book grounded in carbon market demand data and project economics.
Competitive intelligence
You need to understand how competing CCS developers and technology companies are positioned in your target market.
