CCUS Projects Database

About this dataset

This worldwide database tracks Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) projects that are either commissioned or in various planning stages. Developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), it serves as a key resource for monitoring global CCUS advancements. The dataset includes projects commissioned since the 1970s with a clear emissions reduction scope, focusing on large-scale CO2 capture (over 100,000 tonnes/year) and Direct Air Capture (over 1,000 tonnes/year). It specifically excludes CO2 capture for low-climate-benefit uses (e.g., food/beverages), conventional industrial processes, and naturally occurring CO2 for enhanced oil recovery.
