Scaling CCS: new business models for rapid deployment

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) remains a critical lever for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors, enabling energy solutions to be delivered in the most carbon-efficient way possible. As CCS evolves from pilot to commercial scale, industry leaders are championing a collaborative, pragmatic approach to create viable business models that distribute risk, align incentives, and expand infrastructure through cross-sector innovation. Emerging frameworks, including emissions aggregators, shared CCS hubs, and open-access CO₂ transport and storage networks, exemplify how the energy ecosystem is reframing challenges into pathways for efficient, cost-effective scaling. These solutions enable emitters, service providers, and infrastructure developers to unite across the value chain, creating bankable projects with predictable outcomes. As governments introduce forward-thinking policies including clearer carbon pricing mechanisms and financial incentives, strategic alignment and collaboration between private and public sectors becomes increasingly critical. Unlocking the full potential of CCS will require more than technology, it demands innovative business models that create shared value, reduce cost barriers, and scale up infrastructure to advance a resilient, low-carbon, high-growth future.
