Insight | CCS Policy, Legal and Regulatory Snapshot: Trends and Observations

Policy, legal and regulatory (PLR) frameworks continue to play a central role in informing global and regional CCS trends. The Institute’s latest PLR update examines key developments across the sector over the 2025 calendar year, including changes to CCS governance regimes, government initiatives supporting large-scale deployment, and broader market and regulatory trends.


Covering the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa, the update also highlights ongoing policy, legal and regulatory challenges affecting the deployment of CCS projects worldwide. While the full report is exclusive to members, the Institute has published a publicly accessible summary of the main developments and trends observed across each region.

Fact Sheet | Brevik CCS


Read the Institute's recently released facility profile on Brevik CCS. Operated by Heidelberg Materials, Brevik CCS is currently the world’s largest cement CO₂ capture facility, representing a major milestone in industrial carbon capture.

 

Concrete is, by tonnage, the largest manufactured product industry, with around 30 billion tonnes of concrete produced in 2024. While cement supports the development of safe and resilient infrastructure, it’s responsible for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Brevik CCS highlights the growing role of CCS in reducing emissions and supporting the production of low-carbon cement.


Event | London Climate Action Week

Hosted during London Climate Action Week, the Global CCS Institute, alongside Imperial College London, will bring together stakeholders to unpack how carbon management is progressing in the UK and globally, and explore what is needed to accelerate the scale-up even further. 


Held on 23 June, the convening, which will include a networking lunch, will also spotlight findings from the London Register of Subsurface CO₂ Storage, an accessible scientific record showcasing how much CO₂ has been permanently stored underground by carbon management projects worldwide. Registration is now available on our website.
