Defossilizing Industry Scaling-up CCU 2025
Page 9 of 43 · WEF_Defossilizing_Industry_Scaling-up_CCU_2025.pdf
Geographically, CCU activity is currently focused
within regions which host existing commercially
mature sectors and where funding mechanisms
or regulatory frameworks enable first-of-a-kind
projects, with concentrations of non-urea CCU at
varying stages of development in Northern and
Western Europe, the Gulf states, China, Australia,
the US and Canada.19,20,21,22,23,24Figure 4 shows the global distribution of CCU
projects operating and in development up to
2040, colour-coded by development status.
Enhanced hydrocarbon/oil recovery schemes
(EOR) are excluded.

Notes:
– Mtpa refers to mass of CO2e utilized.
– Status definitions: under construction = FID taken; advanced development = in front-end engineering design (FEED) or advanced feasibility, working
towards FID; early-stage development = project is announced and early feasibility work is underway; delayed pre-development = project has been
delayed or suspended but restart is likely; prospect project = announced but undefined; retired = was operational but has ended; cancelled =
announced but since cancelled.
