New data from the Leadership Group for Industry Transition shows that while the first commercial scale carbon capture plant is operational in Norway, the sector faces a massive scaling gap. Current projections suggest that less than 2% of global cement emissions will be captured by 2035. The analysis highlights that government funding and shared CO2 transport infrastructure are the primary drivers of success. While momentum is shifting toward Asia, the industry relies heavily on public risk sharing to move projects from announcement to operation.
