Abstract

Since the industrial revolution, global anthropogenic CO2 emissions have surged dramatically to unsustainable levels, resulting in severe issues, such as global warming, extreme weather events, and species extinction. In response to this critical situation, extensive efforts have been undertaken across academia, industry, and policymaking sectors to deploy carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Here, we present the annual summary of global CCUS for the year 2023. We begin by discussing the trends of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and then offer an up-to-date summary of progress in academia, industry, and policy, respectively. In academia, we analyze the number and categories of publications and highlight some key breakthroughs. In the industry sector, we meticulously collect and present information on operational commercial carbon-capture and storage facilities. Furthermore, we elucidate significant policy announcements and reforms across diverse regions. This concise and comprehensive annual report aims to inspire ongoing efforts and collaboration among academia, industry, and policymakers toward advancing carbon neutrality.
