Panel Discussion

Advancing Industrial CCUS Adoption: Investment Criteria, Infrastructure Access, and Decarbonization Priorities

Wednesday, November 18, 2026 · 11:00 – 11:30

A panel on what moves industrial CCUS from intent to investment: how 45Q credits and capital stacks are structured, how CO₂ shipping logistics open up isolated industrial clusters, and which technology and infrastructure trade-offs decide adoption across hard-to-abate sectors.

Panel Themes
  • Structuring Section 45Q tax credit monetization, capital stacks, and transferability mechanisms to strengthen project returns across diverse investor groups
  • Synchronizing final investment decisions and leveraging liquid CO₂ shipping logistics to unlock decarbonization opportunities across isolated industrial clusters
  • Evaluating commercial-scale technical readiness, infrastructure trade-offs, and competitiveness drivers shaping CCUS adoption across hard-to-abate sectors
