CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) refers to a set of technologies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. With the adoption of this technology, Brazil can neutralize emissions from these sectors, promoting innovation and sustainable economic growth.

This tool is considered strategic because it can be applied across various sectors, but it is especially relevant for promoting the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries, contributing to the Net-Zero 2050 goal, which aims to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it allows for balancing industrial growth with sustainability and environmental impact mitigation.

Seeking to investigate how Brazil can integrate this technology into its energy transition strategy based on lessons learned and models applied by Norway, CEBRI, in partnership with the Energy Research Office (EPE), Innovation Norway, and the Norwegian Embassy in Brazil, developed the report “Integrating CCUS into Brazil’s Decarbonization Strategy: Insights from Norwegian Expertise.”
