摘要

The research aims to assess the current state of implementing carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) technologies in industries and energy as the main generators of CO2 emissions and the prospects for their development, considering technological, investment, and regulatory constraints. The research methodology is based on the experience and determinants of the global development and implementation of CCUS projects, with a specific focus on Russia. It considers the availability of geological resources suitable for CO2 storage. The results include identifying the most technologically ready stages of CCUS projects with potential for commercialization in the oil and gas, energy, and chemical industries. They also encompass the organizational forms for implementing CCUS projects in various regions and countries, such as creating hubs and clusters that consider industry focus. Additionally, the design of carbon transportation by pipelines and vehicles and access to storage areas are considered. The authors highlighted the key criteria for determining the cost of the CCUS projects and the potential for reducing operating costs and investment by assessing technological and social risks. The authors conclude about the expediency of state regulatory support, similar to the alternative energy development program, in terms of standardization of technological processes, introducing tax incentives and subsidies, and special financing programs from public funds to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and decarbonization of the economy.
