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.
Attendee Insights:
Gain exposure to emerging CCS business models and learn how value chain collaboration, emissions aggregation, and open-access networks are reshaping how industries finance and scale carbon capture technologies.
Hydrogen demand is characterised by cautious growth, as high production costs, underdeveloped infrastructure, and market immaturity pose significant challenges to securing consistent offtake agreements and broader market adoption. Stimulating demand for low-carbon hydrogen remains a key challenge, particularly in sectors such as transportation, industry, and heating. Supportive policies and financial incentives to promote the adoption of hydrogen technologies will pave the way for market activation but will only take effect if public-private partnerships are established to develop hydrogen infrastructure. Collaboration amongst industry stakeholders is key to establish standardised offtake agreements and supply chain mechanisms that ensure reliable and affordable hydrogen supply.
Attendee insights:
Gain a better understanding of the mechanisms, policies and strategies to expedite uptake as well as what will be required to overcome commercial barriers, foster market growth, and ensure security of supply for end-users through robust offtake agreements.
