CO2 Post-combustion Capture Technology Market Report 2026

The co2 post-combustion capture technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $13.24 billion in 2025 to $15.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing fossil fuel-based power generation, tightening emission control regulations, early industrial adoption of amine absorption systems, growth of pilot carbon capture installations, rising industrial co2 emission levels.

The co2 post-combustion capture technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.18 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of net-zero targets across industries, increasing investments in ccus infrastructure, growing deployment of large-scale capture facilities, advancements in low-energy capture materials, rising integration with carbon utilization projects. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced chemical solvent systems, rising use of membrane-based co2 separation, growing deployment of retrofit capture units in power plants, expansion of modular post-combustion systems, enhanced focus on capture efficiency optimization.

Rising public awareness of climate change is expected to drive the growth of the CO₂ post-combustion capture technology market in the coming years. Climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth's climate patterns, including rising temperatures, shifting precipitation, and more frequent extreme weather events, largely driven by human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions. Public awareness is increasing due to widespread media coverage highlighting the visible impacts and urgent consequences of climate change, which informs, engages, and motivates action. CO₂ post-combustion capture technology helps mitigate climate change by capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial flue gases, preventing them from entering the atmosphere and reducing greenhouse gas accumulation. For example, in January 2024, a report by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), a US-based government organization, indicated that in 2023 the U.S. experienced 28 weather and climate disasters, each causing damages exceeding $1 billion. Therefore, rising public awareness of climate change is driving the growth of the CO₂ post-combustion capture technology market.

Key companies in the CO₂ post-combustion capture technology market are emphasizing technological innovations, such as advanced amine-based solvent systems, to improve capture efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower operational costs in industrial and power generation applications. Advanced amine-based solvent systems are specialized chemical solutions that efficiently capture carbon dioxide from industrial flue gases while minimizing energy consumption during regeneration. For instance, in December 2023, Lummus Technology LLC, a US-based technology company, partnered with Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, a Japan-based energy solutions provider, to advance carbon capture solutions. The collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment of innovative technologies that reduce industrial CO₂ emissions by combining Lummus’s expertise in process technology with Toshiba’s energy systems innovation. Together, they seek to deliver efficient, large-scale solutions for industries with high carbon footprints, providing scalable and sustainable pathways for decarbonization. The partnership focuses on optimizing performance, reducing operational costs, and enhancing adoption of post-combustion capture technologies, reflecting a shared commitment to combating climate change, supporting global net-zero goals, and promoting cleaner industrial processes.

In December 2023, CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a US-based chemical manufacturing company, acquired Incitec Pivot Limited (IPL) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, CF Industries Holdings aims to expand its ammonia-production footprint, deploy capital efficiently, and achieve immediate profitable growth by integrating IPL’s Waggaman facility into its network, while advancing its long-term strategic focus on low-carbon ammonia as a clean-energy source. Incitec Pivot Limited (IPL), based in Australia, provides CO₂ post-combustion capture technology.
