"The scale of global carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology has gradually increased, from 26 million tons to 55 million tons between 2013 and 2023. The proportion of developed countries has decreased, and the growth of developing countries has become a key technology for responding to climate change."

The breath of the earth is gradually heavier, and human wisdom is like stars, flashing in the endless universe. The movement of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is quietly playing. It is not only a symphony of technology, but also a affectionate confession to Mother Earth. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), like a thin thread, is trying to closely connect the process of human civilization with the dream of environmental protection.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage is a global green revolution that crosses national boundaries and connects people of different cultures and beliefs. In this revolution, everyone is a participant and every country is an actor on the stage.

During 2013-2023, the global carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage volume was like a trickle of converging into a river, quietly increasing from 26 million tons to 55 million tons, achieving a growth of 111.53%. Although the scale is small, it outlines an increasingly steep growth curve, indicating that the potential of technology and the goal of responding to climate change are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. During this period, the carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage volume in developed countries rose from 22 million tons to 33 million tons, achieving a 50.00% jump; although the proportion of global carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage volume has decreased, it still plays an important role, falling from 84.62% to 60.00%, although it has dropped by 24.62 percentage points, it further demonstrates its unique value and unremitting efforts in climate change response actions.
