【Position Paper】Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is not a magic wand

On May 15, 2023, Kiko Network released the position paper "Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is not a magic wand".

In this paper, we have summarized the current status of CCS implementation in Japan, based on the analytical findings of international organizations and think tanks related to CCS and CCUS since we published our previous paper in 2019, and points out the problems that may arise if CCS projects multiply overseas in the future. It concludes by once again calling for a reconsideration of Japan’s CCS policies.
