Recent financial investment decisions of major projects show promise in asector that is gaining momentum, but its future success depends on viablebusiness models and effective risk allocation across the value chain. In this context,Financing CCUS at Scaleis the IEA’s latest report on what it takesto move CCUS projects from the drawing board to operation. Building on expertinterviews with leading financial institutions, the report investigates the distinctiveeconomic and financial characteristics of CCUS projects, the impact of businessmodels on commercial viability, and how CCUS projects have been financed todate. Based on these insights, the report provides targeted recommendations forpolicymakers on how to design policy, regulatory and financial frameworks thatcan more effectively crowd in private capital. Thehandbook is supported by the IEACCUS Projects Databaseandcomplements the IEA CCUS Handbooks onCCUS Policies and Business Models,Legal and Regulatory Frameworks for CCUSand onCO2Storage Resources andtheir Development.
