Abstract

International efforts based on the Paris Agreement aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen policies creating a sustainable society. CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) has received attention from developed nations and international organizations as one of the solutions that contributes to both reducing emissions in key sectors directly and to removing CO₂. The IEA described CCUS as a key pillar of efforts toward net-zero emissions. In this study, concepts for CCUS industry and ecosystem structure are presented, and the current issues facing the domestic CCUS industry are derived through expert surveys and interviews. The results obtained highlight eight major issues related to the domestic CCUS industrial ecosystem and eight policy alternatives and strategies. The Korean government needs to consider effective policy instruments reducing greenhouse gas emissions through CCUS technology, such as legislation to promote CCUS industry, development of efficient R&D support systems, and CCUS industrial cluster creation.
