Abstract
The global drive for net-zero emissions has highlighted carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as a critical tool to reduce CO2 emissions from energy and industrial sectors. Achieving climate goals necessitates a comprehensive understanding of regional CO2 emission profiles and capture costs to inform effective decarbonization strategies. As one of the largest CO2 emitters globally, Saudi Arabia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. However, the economic implications of deploying CCUS within the Kingdom remain insufficiently explored. This work provides estimates of CO2 capture costs from various sectors including petrochemical, hydrogen and ammonia, refineries, cement, iron and steel and power generation.
