The report 'Global CCU Infrastructure Market Assessment' has been published. This report provides a high-level mapping of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies and is a deliverable of the ECCSELERATE work package 'ECCSEL ERIC research strategy and services model development'. A set of sustainability criteria for use when evaluating CCU-based value chains is proposed in this report.

CO₂ can be used directly in several ways, for example as a solvent, as a refrigerant, or for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. CO₂ can be chemically converted to a very broad range of carbon-products. The carbon-products studied in this report are divided into commodity chemicals and polymers, fuels, and solid carbonates. Different CO₂ utilisation products and pathways are looked at more closely.

Lastly, the report briefly presents a series of case studies for CCU technologies that have reached a high level of maturity, have been demonstrated at an industrially relevant scale and/or are in the process of being commercialised.
