Managing carbon with advanced solutions
In the energy and natural resources sector, carbon management has become a strategic priority in response to the climate emergency. Companies are actively investing in advanced technologies to capture CO2, sequester it safely or use it in innovative industrial and commercial applications. These efforts will help promote a high-performing and sustainable circular economy.

Aligning your operations with the transitioning carbon value chain
Carbon-emitting companies
Navigating the range of technological options to reduce emissions is proving complex for industrial companies. Several factors need to be considered: integration into their operations, investment capacity and synergy with their industry. For companies that are looking to capture the CO2 from their emissions, the main challenge is finding a practical method to use or sequester the captured CO2 that incorporates the key factors for a successful project. Available options include:
- Chemical conversion
- Industrial use
- Geological storage
- Biological use
Companies using carbon
To use captured CO2 efficiently and cost-effectively, companies need to implement advanced technologies and adapt them to integrate seamlessly into their operations. CO2 handling processes also present a complex challenge, requiring leak prevention, continuous monitoring and compliance with safety standards and regulations.
Suppliers of CCUS technologies and applications
As strategic players, suppliers of carbon capture, use and sequestration (CCUS) technologies must continually innovate to make their processes not only technically reliable, but also economically viable on a large scale while promoting social acceptance. By meeting the needs and constraints of their industrial clients, these suppliers can support the transition to a low-carbon industry.
