Key Players
Competitive Landscape
Competition follows the project’s interfaces. Capture suppliers design for the emission stream and host facility. Transport operators specify the CO2 stream and delivery schedule; storage developers characterize sites for the contracted volumes. Separate agreements or coordinated offers must connect these responsibilities.
Operating experience can inform another project’s design. Modular equipment still needs to fit the customer’s gas conditions and site. Buyers assess suppliers through the equipment, services and agreements they can deliver across the chain.
Developments mapped to drivers, trends and opportunities 2026 to 2036
| Development | Driver | Trend | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Lights stored its first CO2 in August 2025. [3] | Industrial demand for permanent storage | Shared transport and injection services enter operation | Connect additional industrial sources |
| Carbon Clean completed CycloneCC deployment in April 2025. [9] | Industrial capture requirements | Modular equipment tested in plant conditions | Develop site-specific capture installations |
| Svante and Samsung E&A signed a development agreement in May 2025. [15] | Capture project delivery requirements | Technology and engineering partnerships | Offer modular plant designs |
What should an industrial buyer establish first?
Define the emission stream, operating pattern, energy and space. Develop transport and storage access alongside the capture-plant design.
What matters in a storage-service agreement?
Capacity, timing, CO2 specifications and transfer responsibilities must fit the facility’s operating requirements.
How do shared networks affect procurement?
Several emitters can use a common storage destination. Each needs a connection, an accepted CO2 stream and a coordinated timetable.
What distinguishes a capture supplier from a storage developer?
The capture supplier supports separation at the source. The storage developer characterizes and operates the geological destination. Transport connects their roles.

Research Methodology
The assessment uses operating-project announcements, supplier documentation and official infrastructure and storage frameworks. It examines industrial capture, connected transport and permanent storage, geographic project conditions and provider capabilities.
