Opportunities on CCS and CCU value chains

Positioning oneself within the value chains of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies involves developing an in depth and systemic vision on the evolutions of the energy and industrial sectors. Sia Partners accompanies you in the definition and realization of your CSUS ambitions

Capture, storage and valuation of CO2: essential pillars of the energy transition

Carbon capture, utilization and storage of CO2 technologies (CCUS) are considered as indispensable tools in achieving the targets set out by the Paris Accords. These technologies play a key role in the climate study scenarios developed by international organizations (e.g., IEA, IPCC) and are increasingly being included in national decarbonization strategies. 

Realizing the full potential of CCS and CCU involves undertaking significant investments in innovation and building new value chains, whilst simultaneously navigating a context of great uncertainty concerning the possible evolution of the regulatory environment. 

The issues faced by market players are varied and differ between them:

Key Issues of actors

Multiple support capabilities

We support our clients in becoming leaders along all segments of the CCUS value chain, regardless of their level of maturity on the subject.

CCUS Offers

Wide-ranging feedback from our missions confirms the importance of CCUS in the future evolution of the energy and industrial sector.

Sia Partners positions itself as a pioneer on the emerging issues linked to the energy transition to a low-carbon economy. This involves helping our customers navigate the move towards a decarbonized economy, accompanying them in their transformation as agents of change and anticipating future evolutions in the energy market.
