Carbon Dioxide Utilization: Markets for CO2-Derived Fuels and Concrete

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is expanding as more capacity comes online. A key part of this growth is carbon dioxide utilization, which turns captured CO2 into profitable products like synthetic fuels, industrial chemicals, and carbon-cured concrete. Understanding the business case for CO2 utilization involves analyzing the maturity of synthesis pathways and the policy incentives that make these technologies viable. Market forecasts for the next decade suggest a shift toward valorizing carbon to offset the costs of capture.
