3 March 2026 – Mumbai, India – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to climate change mitigation and sustainable development. The new resource is titled “Carbon Capture and Storage as a Decarbonisation Strategy: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications for Sustainable Development”, an open-access article by Maxwell Kongkuah, Noha Alessa, and Ilham Haouas, published in the journal Sustainability in 2025.
The article examines the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a strategic tool for reducing national carbon intensity across 43 countries between 2010 and 2020. Using a Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) econometric model, the study evaluates sector-specific impacts of CCS deployment in direct air capture, cement production, iron and steel, power and heat, and natural gas processing. The findings show that CCS installations in high-income countries are associated with measurable declines in carbon intensity, particularly in cement and power sectors, while lower-income economies show mixed results due to infrastructure and financing constraints.
The study also highlights the importance of policy design tailored to income levels, emphasizing tax incentives and public-private partnerships in advanced economies, blended finance in upper-middle-income countries, and pilot CCS hubs supported by international cooperation in developing regions. By linking technological deployment with sustainable development objectives, the article reinforces CCS as a potential pathway toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) and advancing global decarbonisation efforts.
