Includes large-scale projects with a capture capacity of more than 100 000 t per year (or 1 000 t per year for DAC). Capture projects for CO2 use are included as long as CO2 is used in fuels, chemicals, polymers, building materials, or for yield boosting. Within planned CCUS industrial hubs, only identified CO2 capture projects are included (not the full potential capture capacity of industrial hubs for which capture sources are not specified). Merchant hydrogen or ammonia excludes on-site hydrogen production in industry (included in other industry or other fuel transformation).
