This paper provides a comprehensive overview of CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage), assessing its historical development, current technological and policy landscape, and future potential. It analyzes technical challenges, costs, and social acceptance, and discusses the role of CCUS in climate change mitigation.

日本のGX文脈において

日本はGX実現に向けてCCUSを重要な柱と位置づけており、経産省の「CCS事業法」や「CCUS技術ロードマップ」との関連で本論文の知見が政策・産業界に示唆を与える。特にアジア地域でのCCUS展開に日本が果たす役割を考える上で有用。

In the global GX context

CCUS is a critical technology for global decarbonization, with growing policy support (e.g., U.S. 45Q tax credits, EU Innovation Fund). This paper provides a timely synthesis of CCUS prospects, useful for understanding its integration into national climate strategies and corporate transition plans, especially as many companies include CCUS in their net-zero pathways.
