Abstract Information :
For reaching the target of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) neutrality it will be necessary to transform the energy sector as much as possible away from fossil energy to renewable. However, there are different industries and processes in which it is impossible to reduce CO2 emissions to zero. For these industries the application of Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) is discussed worldwide widely. There were started pilot projects of Carbon Capture in several regions around the world. There are different technologies used as e.g. chemical absorption (e.g., amine-based solvents), physical adsorption (e.g., zeolites or activated carbon) or membrane separation. In parallel there were formed regulations as e.g. in the US the Tax Credit and Sequestration (45Q), in the EU-Net-Zero Industry Act or e.g. in the Middle East the Saudi & Middle East Green Initiatives (2024). By the application of the different Carbon Capture (CC) technologies are generated emissions, which need to be monitored and there are requirements on the purity of the CO2 which is injected into the grid for transportation (ISO 27913). This presentation will describe several CCUS regulations and realized and planned CCUS projects in the mentioned regions in detail including the defined Carbon Capture targets. The different Carbon Capture technologies will be explained including Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) and purity measurement requirements.
