There are 10 CCS facilities in the USA with a combined capacity to capture more than 25 million tonnes per annum. In total, there are 19 operating facilities
The Petrobras Santos Basin Pre-Salt Oil Field CCS in Brazil had a carbon capture and storage capacity of 10.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxid per year

Carbon capture and storage captures carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere. Typically, carbon capture equipment is placed at or near the source of emissions, like a power plant or industrial facility. DOE estimates that reaching our nation’s energy goals will require capturing and storing 400 million to 1.8 billion tons of CO2 annually by 2050. New carbon capture technologies are emerging from two decades of research and development. Funding for pilot projects will provide the support needed to test these technologies under relevant conditions in both the power and industrial sectors. The Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects Program aims to pilot transformational technologies and prove them out at pilot-to-commercial scale in partnership with industry and communities. These large-scale pilot projects aim to significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, costs, emissions reductions, and environmental performance of coal and natural gas use at power and industrial facilities.
China's largest carbon capture and storage plant at Guohua Jinjie coal power station was completed in January 2021. In addition to individual carbon capture and sequestration projects, various programs work to research, develop, and deploy CCS technologies on a broad scale. * Chevron Natural Gas Carbon Capture Technology Testing Project — Chevron USA, Inc. Had it become operational as a coal plant, the Kemper Project would have been a first-of-its-kind electricity plant to employ gasification and carbon capture technologies at this scale. The Petra Nova project is a billion dollar endeavor undertaken by NRG Energy and JX Nippon to partially retrofit their jointly owned W.A Parish coal-fired power plant with post-combustion carbon capture. The ANICA Project focused on developing economically feasible carbon capture technology for lime and cement plants, which are responsible for 8% of the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. **^** "Chevron Natural Gas Carbon Capture Technology Testing Project". **^** "Power plant linked to idled U.S. carbon capture project will shut indefinitely -NRG".
The Global CCS Institute says these 22 projects will be able to capture 40 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, once they are all operational. By 2050 the IEA thinks we need a CCS industry capable of capturing 7,000 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year and storing it underground. The Quest CCS project is a joint venture between Shell, Chevron and Marathon Oil. It is designed to capture around 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from a plant that turns heavy Canadian tar sands into useable products. The Century plant has the capacity to capture 8.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, the single largest CCS facility in the world. Capture began at a series of natural gas processing plants in Val Verde, Texas in the early 1970s, with the carbon dioxide going to enhanced oil recovery projects by pipeline. This demonstration project at Uthmaniyah in Saudi Arabia will capture 0.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from 2015 for use in enhanced oil recovery at the world’s largest oil field, Ghawar.
Using Clean Air Task Force's interactive map, you can track U.S.-based carbon capture and storage activity and projects.
Carbon capture and storage installations can be applied across any industrial facility from hard to abate sectors like cement, steel, fertilizers, power generation, natural gas processing, petrochemical facilities, hydrogen production, etc. These point-source carbon capture companies also own the best technology out there used to reduce emissions from the source. To date, the company has announced two agreements to develop carbon capture and storage projects at ethanol plants that will eliminate the emissions during the fermentation process. CarbonFree is one of the carbon capture companies with an ambitious mission, to capture 10% of industrial CO2, currently standing at 800 million tons per year. The company announced in Feb 2023 it partnered with bp to work together on developing carbon capture and utilization projects with SkyCycleTM technology. Capsol Technologies AS is a carbon capture technology company founded in 2014 with the goal of becoming a global leader in capturing CO2 from Waste-to-Energy (WtE), cement, biomass, power plants and industrial facilities.
