The CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE READINESS INDEX is a global comparative analysis of CCS indicators for the wide-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage projects. The report provides an overview of the storage, legal, policy, and overall CCS readiness indicators. The study found that the storage indicator is the most developed, followed by the legal indicator, and the policy indicator. The overall CCS readiness is moderate, with significant room for improvement in some countries. The report provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders interested in the deployment of CCS projects.
