What it is
What is the Global CCUS Projects Database?
A market intelligence platform tracking carbon capture, transport, utilisation, and storage projects worldwide, from the first licence round and emitter decarbonisation plan through permitting, FEED, offtake, FID, construction, and injection. Every record carries verified investment values, capture and storage capacity, licence status, timelines, stakeholders, tenders, and decision-maker contacts.
Capture technology providers, EPCs, pipeline builders and storage operators use it to find projects while the capture and storage chain is still being assembled, and to follow each one to first injection.
Find projects first
Coverage begins with storage licence rounds, emitter decarbonisation plans, cluster funding applications and code-named permits, read in the local language before a project is announced.
Know every stakeholder
Emitter, developer, capture technology licensor, pipeline or shipping operator, storage licence holder and EPC are mapped to each project with verified contacts.
Act at the right stage
Each project carries its stage, from study and licence award through FEED and final investment decision to construction and first injection, with an alert when a watched project secures its storage.
Prove it before you bid
Capture rates, storage licences and transport routes are reconciled against two independent sources and cited, and a capture plant with no confirmed route to storage is recorded as exactly that.

What the Carbon Capture Company Data Shows
Blackridge tracks 497 owners and developers across the carbon capture pipeline. The 25 most active hold 188 projects between them, led by Summit Carbon Solutions, LLC (26), Carbon Engineering Ltd (11) and Harbour Energy Plc (10).
The five busiest account for 35% of the projects held by the top 25, so the pipeline is spread across a broad field of builders rather than a few dominant ones.
All of the top 25 are owners.
Across their projects, 4% are already past contract award. Carbon Engineering Ltd has the most in that phase, with 3 projects at award or under construction.
Full profiles for all 497 companies, with their project lists, contract awards and verified contacts, are in the database.

Global Pipeline by Development Stage
Nine stages in four phase families, each cell sized by the number of tracked projects at that stage, running from the earliest signals through to first injection.

Project Density by Region
Where the tracked pipeline actually sits. Counts come straight from the live database and are compared against the busiest region, not against a total: the regions overlap, so they are never added together.
Bars are scaled to the busiest region. A project in a country belonging to more than one grouping is counted in each, so these figures are not additive.
Market intelligence
Carbon Capture Pipeline by Stage and Region
