Carbon Capture and Sequestration Market Overview Analysis By Fortune Business Insights Analysis
Market Size & Future Outlook
According to Fortune Business Insights: The global carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) market size was valued at USD 4.51 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 5.31 billion in 2026 to USD 19.98 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.03% during 2026–2034. North America dominated the market with a 59.65% share in 2025, valued at USD 2.69 billion. The report covers a historical period of 2021–2024, with 2025 as the base year, and measures the market in both value (USD billion) and volume (MTPA).
Market Overview
Carbon capture and sequestration involves capturing carbon dioxide from industrial and power sources, transporting it, and storing it underground or using it, for example in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It is a central tool for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as power generation, chemicals, fertilizers, and natural gas processing, and it underpins many national net-zero strategies.

Market Drivers
- Climate policy and targets: Government emission-reduction targets and net-zero commitments are the primary drivers.
- EOR projects: Growth in CO2-based enhanced oil recovery supports demand for captured CO2.
- Public funding: Governments are funding carbon capture R&D and infrastructure.
- Regional programs: The EU Net Zero Industry Act targets injecting 50 million metric tons of CO2 per year by 2030, and Canadian federal and provincial programs support CCUS.
Market Restraints
- High capital costs: Large-scale capture systems require substantial upfront investment.
- Operating expenses: Annual operating costs are significant.
- Scale difficulty: Building high-capacity plants that capture multiple MTPA of CO2 remains challenging.
Market Trends
Industry collaborations are increasingly used to finance and build large-scale CCS facilities and to secure regional contracts. Examples include ExxonMobil's series of carbon capture agreements with industrial customers and cross-border storage projects such as Denmark's Project Greensand.
Segmentation Analysis
By End-Use: Dedicated storage and treatment is projected to hold the largest share, at 52.17% in 2026. EOR is also covered, without a share figure.
By Capture Source: The market covers chemicals, natural gas processing, power generation, fertilizer production, and others. The report says natural gas processing leads but gives no share figure for it.
