The CCUS market has experienced a significant increase in project announcements in the past two years, most of the CCU projects under development are planning to utilize CO2 for Enhance oil recovery, fuels and chemical are gaining momentum as the second largest potential utilization pathway for CCU projects but still are a small share of the market, despite the clear applications for CO2 utilization the market for CO2 sequestration is significantly bigger.
