Insights
- The CCUS market list shows 49 funding deals, with more than $1.17 billion raised across carbon capture, carbon removal, CO₂ utilization, and storage startups.
- Direct air capture remains a major CCUS market theme, but the largest funding rounds also went to CO₂-to-fuels, building materials, and ocean carbon removal companies.
- The CCUS market had a clear funding peak in 2024, mainly because Heirloom, CarbonCapture Inc., Again, and 44.01 each raised large rounds.
- In 2025, the CCUS market became broader, with deals across direct air capture, mineralization, buildings, water treatment, lime, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels.
- Several CCUS market startups connect carbon capture with useful products, such as jet fuel, graphite, chemicals, concrete, and construction materials.
- Ocean-based carbon removal is becoming more visible in the CCUS market, with deals for Gigablue, Equatic, Planetary Technologies, Captura, and pHathom Technologies.
- The CCUS market is not only about huge plants. Smaller modular systems for buildings, ships, industrial sites, and distributed capture also attracted investor money.
- Mining waste and industrial residues are becoming important inputs in the CCUS market, especially for companies that mineralize CO₂ into stable carbonates.
- Many CCUS market deals are still early-stage rounds below $15 million, which shows that the industry has many young technologies still proving scale.

Summary table of the funding deals for the CCUS market since 2024
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 (point-source and direct air), compression/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.
We focused exclusively on pure players, defined as companies with at least 70–80% of their business directly tied to the CCUS market.
Our analysis has been done at a global level with a minimum funding threshold of $300k.
