CO\u2082 can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be <strong>used in industrial processes<\/strong> or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares <strong>three capture technology<\/strong> families and their levels of maturity: solvent-based absorption; adsorption with solid sorbents; and membranes. It also summarizes the <strong>latest policy developments in Germany <\/strong>and provides three policy recommendations to enable scaling up of CCUS technology. Lastly, the poster highlights emerging carbon capture innovations across the TfNZ ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our policy recommendations to enable CCUS scale-up:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Polluters Pay, Not Taxpayers: <\/strong>Make corporates bear CCS costs via carbon pricing, AMCs, liability rules, and guarantees that mobilize private finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Innovate to Cut Carbon Capture Costs: <\/strong>Scale R&amp;D and grants alongside carbon pricing to reduce capture costs and energy demand and strengthen the business case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prioritize Carbon Use Over Storage:<\/strong> Incentivize syngas and synthetic fuels to utilize captured CO\u2082, keeping geological storage as a last resort where reuse is not viable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260224_CCUS-Knowledge-Poster-EN.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 20260224_CCUS Knowledge Poster EN.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e3d9052d-d662-4483-8e6c-61210ee6789a\" href=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260224_CCUS-Knowledge-Poster-EN.pdf\">20260224_CCUS Knowledge Poster EN<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260224_CCUS-Knowledge-Poster-EN.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e3d9052d-d662-4483-8e6c-61210ee6789a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive Summary This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies.
