By 2025, the largest contributor to CCS will be the natural gas processing industry with a share of about 40%. By the year 2050, the total energy-related captured CO₂ is estimated to reach 1.25 GtCO₂, with ammonia accounting for 46%, followed by e-fuel at 14%, and hydrogen at 8%.

By mid-century, just 6% of gas will be carbon-free, of which hydrogen will supply roughly one quarter, with the balance made up through CCS in power and industry and by biomethane.

Cement production is expected to grow less than 20% but its energy mix will remain highly carbon intensive, with electricity and hydrogen playing only marginal roles. Decarbonization goals will rely on CCS. Construction and mining will see the highest relative increase in energy demand (50%), but almost all of that growth will be met by an expansion of electrification.
