The Big Question Facing CCUS:
What Will It Take to Build Bankable, Scalable, and Reliable Carbon Infrastructure?

CCUS has moved beyond policy ambition and pilot-stage validation. As industrial emitters, energy companies, investors, and governments push for credible decarbonization pathways, the focus is now on which projects can deliver commercial scale, infrastructure readiness, storage integrity, risk allocation, and long-term economic viability.

CCUS Xchange USA 2026 brings together the executives, project developers, capital providers, technology leaders, and policymakers working through the commercial questions that will define the sector's next phase: bankable infrastructure, project finance, industrial integration, carbon transport and storage integrity, and utilization market development.

This is where the carbon management ecosystem examines what large-scale deployment actually requires — from capture performance and project execution to transport networks, storage confidence, incentive alignment, capital readiness, and industrial offtake demand.

Five Agenda Pillars Shaping the Future of CCUS Deployment

01

Scaling Bankable CCUS Infrastructure

Explore how CCUS can move beyond pilots toward standardized, finance-ready infrastructure. This pillar examines engineering optimization, supply chain readiness, hub development, capture integration, transport and storage connectivity, and the transition from first-of-a-kind projects to repeatable industrial-scale assets.

02

Financing & De-Risking Carbon Assets

Examine the financing models and risk-sharing structures required to move CCUS projects toward final investment decision. Discussions focus on blended finance, 45Q, carbon contracts for difference, project aggregation, infrastructure capital, offtake certainty, policy incentives, and risk allocation frameworks.

03

Industrial Decarbonization in Practice

Assess real-world CCUS integration across hard-to-abate sectors including steel, cement, chemicals, refining, fertilizers, power generation, and heavy industrial operations. This pillar focuses on retrofit complexity, process integration, energy penalties, operational reliability, capture economics, and lessons from deployment-ready industrial projects.

04

Carbon Transport, Storage & Integrity

Evaluate the infrastructure required to move and store CO₂ safely, reliably, and at scale. Sessions examine pipeline networks, shipping models, geological storage, carbon hubs, cross-border transport, MMV, permitting, pore space access, long-term liability, and public confidence in storage integrity.

05

Carbon Utilization & Market Development

Explore how captured CO₂ can support emerging utilization pathways, synthetic fuels, carbon-based materials, mineralization, and carbon market formation. This pillar examines lifecycle accounting, durability, demand creation, commercialization timelines, revenue models, and the role of utilization in strengthening the broader carbon economy.
