CCUS Projects Database (via the CCUS Projects Explorer)
The IEA's database of carbon capture, utilisation and storage projects worldwide that have an announced capacity of more than 100,000 tonnes of CO2 a year (1,000 tonnes for direct air capture) and an announced timeline: operating, under construction and planned, with the year each starts, its sector (power, cement, hydrogen, natural gas processing, direct air capture and others), its part in the chain (capture, full chain, utilisation, transport and storage) and its capacity in million tonnes of CO2 a year. Capacities are what the projects are designed or announced to handle, not CO2 actually captured or stored.
