Brazil’s regulatory framework for carbon capture, utilization and storage is emerging as a critical component of the country’s strategy to decarbonize heavy industry. As global emissions continue to rise and natural sequestration processes prove insufficient, Brazil is developing a policy and regulatory approach aimed at addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors while maintaining industrial competitiveness.
Digital measurement and integrated data systems are shaping the success of CCUS projects by improving emissions visibility, reducing risk and enabling more confident design, operation and investment decisions.
Class VI wells are the regulatory and engineering backbone of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the United States. As deployment accelerates, the ability to inject and permanently contain CO2 in deep saline formations has become central to project feasibility, regulatory approval and long-term performance.
Comprehensive data from Ethanol Producer Magazine’s U.S. and Canada Fuel Ethanol Plant Map reveals a rapidly evolving carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) landscape, with more than 130 projects spanning multiple capture, transport and storage pathways.
