Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is needed to get to net-zero carbon emissions; it’s ready for deployment now.
The Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Biden paves the way for $369 billion in clean-energy tax credits and funding for climate and energy programs. This was a monumental accomplishment that will also support critically needed carbon management. A new research report on carbon management from the Global CO2 Initiative reveals how carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is particularly worthwhile because it offers the possibility of making useful and valuable goods from the captured carbon and can hence serve as a profitable complement to other carbon removal and mitigation options.
This research report helps clarify CCU trends and development, as well as points to the most effective and efficient ways in which to grow and implement the CCU industry.
In this webinar, conducted as part of Climate Week NYC 2022, the authors explain key findings of the report. Links to download the materials can be found on the Global CO2 Initiative website:

Brief Background of the Global CO2 Initiative
2015: Global CO2 Initiative is launched by founder and chairman Bernard David
Vision: CO2 can be captured and transformed into valuable products, contributing to the reduction of atmospheric CO2
Research is commissioned to assess the potential global market for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) products and determines that they could be both climatologically and economically significant
2016: GCI is announced at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and develops a roadmap to 2030 for the global commercialization of CCU technologies.
2017: GCI begins global harmonization of guidelines for LCA and TEA for CO2 utilization with U. Sheffield, RWTH Aachen, IASS Potsdam, TU Berlin
2018: GCI moves to the University of Michigan
Since 2018, the Global CO2 Initiative supports development of expanded TEA/LCA guidelines, technology development, and education provides briefings and recommendations to US agencies and companies engages in market research and analysis for updated roadmaps for CCU commercialization
