Global Smart Carbon Market is valued at approximately USD 3.60 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 16.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Smart carbon is a technique of using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and other technologies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide from industrial emissions, power plants, and other sources is captured utilizing smart carbon technology. The trapped carbon is subsequently buried or utilized to make other products, including fuels and chemicals, depending on the situation. Smart carbon is a potential technology in order to lessen greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. The increasing focus on climate change mitigation, rising government regulations, surging adoption of CCS technologies are the key factors that are augmenting the market demand across the globe.
The surging demand for renewable energy is having a considerable positive impact on the smart carbon market. Smart carbon technologies are used to store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, which ensures that renewable energy is available when it is needed. For instance, according to the 2021 report from the IEA (a France-based international energy agency), renewable energy is predicted to draw 70% of all energy investment globally in 2021, with the majority of investment going to the power and end-use sectors, shifting away from conventional fossil fuel production. Therefore, increased expenditure on renewable energy sources are anticipated to fuel the Smart Carbon market at a considerable rate. Moreover, the increasing development of new smart carbon technologies, as well as rising research and development (R&D) activities present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high cost of smart carbon technologies and the lack of storage sites are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Smart Carbon Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 with largest market share because the region has several high-capacity carbon capture and sequestration plants, major expenditures in research and development, and other factors. Additionally, the region’s economy is being driven by financial efforts by the local governments. In June 2021, The US Department of Energy (DoE) announced USD 12 million in government funding with the aim of promoting six research and development programs pushing direct air capture (DAC) technology to create new instruments for effectively removing CO2 from the environment. Whereas, Asia Pacific region is expected to be a fastest growing region over the forecast years. The presence of high-volume storage sites, mostly found in subsea oil and gas reservoirs with EOR activities, along with supportive government measures are projected to strengthen the market demand across the region.
