The report highlights the increasing number of large-scale CCS projects globally, with four major projects currently underway or planned in steel, cement, and the UAE. These projects represent two-thirds of the 22 large-scale CCS projects worldwide, a significant increase from 2010. The report also discusses the importance of CCS as a low-cost approach to climate change mitigation and the need for more experimentation and discussion on how to best implement CCS. The increasing number of large-scale projects and the expected final investment decisions in 2015 indicate the maturity of CCS technology. The report also provides a potential portfolio of large-scale CCS projects for the year 2020, which includes all industries, storage methods, fuels, and technologies.
