Carbon Capture & Storage Technologies

Report Highlights

Report Includes

• The status of competing technologies as well as technological research and development for systems designed to mitigate global warming
• Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2009, estimates for 2010, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2015
• Coverage of technologies that are able to capture carbon dioxide from stationary sources at the point of emission; the report, however, does not evaluate technologies that are used to capture other global warming gases such as methane
• Examination of current and pending U.S., state, and international regulations governing the emission of carbon dioxide
• Comprehensive company profiles and patent evaluations.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT

The report examines global markets for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology, the status of competing carbon capture technologies as well as global technological research and development (R&D) for carbon capture technologies to prevent global warming. It also covers technologies able to capture carbon dioxide from stationary sources at the point of emission. This report does not cover technologies that are used to capture other global warming gases such as methane, water vapor, or various oxides of sulfur or nitrogen.

Major market and market segments are measured and forecasted for several years, including 2009, and 5-year forecasts are made to 2014 in most cases.
