The Carbon Capture Opportunity for Midstreamers

The Global CCS Institute estimates that an additional 2,500 large-scale carbon capture (CCUS), utilization and storage facilities must become operational by 2040, and the Biden administration’s Council on Environmental Quality recently determined that approximately 68,000 miles of additional pipelines are required to support the nation’s net zero emissions target.

To place this opportunity into context, that figure is comparable to the pipeline mileage built for the entirety of the liquid fuels industry in the United States since the early 2000s. As such, the transition to a net-zero energy marketplace presents an unprecedented investment opportunity for midstream operators and energy infrastructure stakeholders who are willing to rise to the challenge.
