Several factors need to be considered: integration into their operations, investment capacity and synergy with their industry. For companies that are looking to capture the CO2from their emissions, the main challenge is finding a practical method to use or sequester the captured CO2 that incorporates the key factors for a successful project. Available options include: - Chemical conversion - Industrial use - Geological storage - Biological use ### **Companies using carbon** To use captured CO2 efficiently and cost-effectively, companies need to implement advanced technologies and adapt them to integrate seamlessly into their operations. CO2 handling processes also present a complex challenge, requiring leak prevention, continuous monitoring and compliance with safety standards and regulations. ### **Suppliers of CCUS technologies and applications** As strategic players, suppliers of carbon capture, use and sequestration (CCUS) technologies must continually innovate to make their processes not only technically reliable, but also economically viable on a large scale while promoting social acceptance. By meeting the needs and constraints of their industrial clients, these suppliers can support the transition to a low-carbon industry. 2. - ![4](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/Decarbonization/_1500x1667_fit_center-center_100_none_ffffff/181871/Decarbonization-1-Website-1500-px-X-1500-px.webp) ## Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS): from strategy to integration With over 45 years of experience in the energy and natural resources sector, BBA is well-positioned to support both the industrial companies that want to decarbonize their operations and those who develop CCUS technology.
