What are the latest funding news in the CCUS market? (July 2026)
Download our beautiful pitch about the CCUS market
In our CCUS market deck, you will find everything you need to understand the market
CCUS funding in 2026 is moving beyond broad capture concepts and into specific deployment models such as ocean capture, mineralization, wastewater treatment, synthetic fuels, and CO₂-to-materials.
The latest rounds show a market that is still early, but increasingly tied to industrial infrastructure, commercial pilots, and measurable carbon removal.
Across the 12 latest qualifying fundraises, investors backed companies that can connect captured CO₂ to permanent storage, durable mineral products, or higher-value industrial inputs.
And if you want to better understand this new industry, you can download our pitch covering the CCUS market.
Insights
- Mineralization is the strongest visible theme in this CCUS funding sample, with four deals tied to concrete, industrial residues, mining waste, or carbonate storage
- The 12 latest CCUS pure-player rounds total about $135.1M, with no disclosed valuations, showing a market still priced privately despite rising deployment activity
- Europe appears especially active in CO₂ utilization and mineralization, while North America leads the latest ocean, wastewater, and marine storage carbon removal deals
- Only one disclosed round crossed $30M, Rivan’s $34M Series A, suggesting most CCUS startups are still financing pilots rather than full infrastructure rollouts
- Wastewater and concrete are becoming practical CCUS entry points because both sectors already have distributed infrastructure and measurable operating data
- CO₂-to-fuels remains investor-relevant, but the latest rounds focus on specific end markets such as aviation fuel, synthetic natural gas, and industrial raw materials
- Several companies raised after validating pilots or offtake interest, which suggests CCUS investors are rewarding proof of demand more than laboratory concepts
- The latest CCUS funding news is less about mega-projects and more about modular systems that can be deployed inside existing industrial sites
As this chart shows, and as featured in our CCUS market deck, search interest in carbon credits has grown significantly
Summary table of the latest funding deals in the CCUS market as of July 2026
We define the CCUS market as the set of products and services that enable capturing CO₂, conditioning it, moving it, and then either using it or storing it to prevent atmospheric release.
We include CO₂ capture, both point-source and direct air, compression and conditioning, CO₂ transport infrastructure and services, utilization pathways, and geological storage, including monitoring and verification directly tied to storage or durable utilization.
We exclude general decarbonization advisory, corporate carbon accounting not tied to specific CCUS projects, trading of carbon credits as a standalone activity, and CO₂ uses that are primarily for short-lived consumption without durable storage.
