GLOBAL - Operational CCS is never as high as planned CCS

Every year, the 'Global CCS Institute' publishes a list of planned CCS projects. This compares each year's future pipeline to what has actually happened.

Megatonnes of carbon dioxide storage capacity per year. Actual amount stored will be ~30-60% lower than this. Only projects with listed start dates are included - planned pipeline is larger than depicted here. Manually compiled from each year's GCCSI report. Note: 2025 GCCSi report did not include any pipeline data.
